RUA Central Otago Pinot Noir from Akarua, a powerful blend of ripe dark raspberries and black forest fruit coupled with notes of smokiness, orange zest and festive spices.  The pleasantly sharp acidity compliments the tart cherry aroma and velvety cocoa-tinged tannins, creating a full-bodied accompaniment to roast poultry, especially turkey around Thanksgiving and Christmas time.  It is a full bodied and beautiful wine which also works fantastically with red meat.
