Akarua, Rua Pinot Noir Size:12x750ml impressive in terms of fruitDeep ruby purple colored, the 2010 Rua Pinot Noir gives aromas of ripe black cherries and mulberries with nuances of powdered cinnamon, mace and chocolate. Medium bodied and with a good amount of ripe berry flavors, it has crisp acidity and a medium level of velvety tannins, finishing long. Drink it now through 2014. Akarua does not currently have a USA importer.
