Giesen’s pinot noirs often play second fiddle to its exceptional sauvignons, but the reality is the pinots from this cool region on New Zealand’s South Island are outstanding in their own right. This vintage of "The Brothers" pinot shows earthy, forest floor notes on the nose, with impressive depth and gorgeous red fruits and spice on the palate. A platinum award-winner at the San Diego International Wine Challenge.
