About Squealing Pig Pinot Noir
Squealing Pig Pinot Noir opens with an inviting bouquet of fresh red cherries, raspberries, and a hint of dried rose petals, underscored by subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, this New Zealand Pinot Noir delivers a silky, medium-bodied experience with vibrant red fruit flavors — juicy strawberry and cherry compote — supported by gentle spice and a whisper of cedar. The tannins are fine-grained and supple, with bright natural acidity that keeps the wine lively and refreshing. A touch of vanilla from light oak integration adds depth without overwhelming the fruit-forward character.
