Jackson Estate Vintage Widow Pinot Noir 2019
Trust your Taste
Brambly red fruit meets dried herbs, spice and a leather-like savoury note in this Marlborough Pinot Noir. It has concentration and a silky texture, with ripe fruit woven into a more complex, savoury character. A bottle to consider when you enjoy Pinot with depth and detail.

How this wine feels
There is satisfying weight here, but the tannins feel silky and integrated. Ripe fruit shares the mouthful with herbs, spice and savoury depth. It is a textured, layered red rather than a simple, purely fruity Pinot.
The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
How much presence and firmness the wine has in your mouth.
The drying, gripping feeling on your gums.
The fresh, mouth-watering edge of the wine.
Bitter, herbal or savoury character beyond the fruit.

Behind the bottle
Fruit comes from Jackson Estate’s clay-rich Gum Emperor and Somerset blocks in the southern Waihopai Valley.
Hand-picked fruit underwent indigenous fermentation, extended skin contact and maturation in new and older French oak, with natural malolactic fermentation.
