The 2015 Nobilo Icon Pinot Noir begins with a pleasing, inviting aroma of strawberry, cherry cola, earth, lots of mint and a little rhubarb. The wine tastes rather soft and delicate in the mouth with nice fruit similar to the nose plus a little citrus. Nicely integrated oaky spice notes lead into the dry, long finish of lingering sweet plums and cola with a hint of the rhubarb and mint from the nose returning at the very end. This is a highly appealing example of Marlborough Pinot Noir!
