Clos Henri Petit Clos Pinot Noir 2019

This quality-focused biodynamic producer’s Petit Clos range is always great value. This vintage, an excellent one in Marlborough, gives particular bang for buck. The wine is the color of freshly squeezed cherry juice, and the vibrant nose offers oodles of plump summer berries just off the bush, along with stalky, floral undertones. The palate is equally exuberant, the juicy fruit wound by firm, textural tannins. A charmer of a wine for knocking back at a barbecue. Editors’ Choice. [A wine that will delight for 8+ years from vintage.] Score – 94. (Christina Pickard, Wine Enthusiast, Nov. 1, 2020)
