Ruby Bay Nelson Captain’s Reserve Pinot Noir (2011)

The 2011 vintage (3.5*) is an attractive red, hand-picked and matured for 11 months in French oak barriques. Floral and sweet-fruited, it is moderately concentrated, with ripe cherry and plum flavours, gentle tannins and a silky-smooth finish. Priced right.
