Ripe, rich and velvety, this wine shows no lack of restraint. The black cherry, herb and mushroom shadings aren't shy at all, and this full-bodied wine finishes long and warm. Drink now–2018.

One of few Kiwi Pinots typically worth cellaring, Neudorf's 2008 Moutere bottling comes across as a bit oaky, with menthol and cedar notes forming a tight overlay to the cherry fruit. Tannins are silky yet firm, suggesting the wine will be at its best 2012–2018.
