title: Pegasus Bay 2005 Pinot Noir (Waipara Valley)
description: This vintage of Peg Bay's Pinot shows the firm structure of the year, suggesting 2–3 years of cellaring. But while the black cherry fruit may not be immediately accessible, there's plenty of it, touched with herbal, minty complexity and a touch of oaky toast on the finish.
variety: Pinot Noir
