The black-cherry flavors that carry this wine seems almost overripe and a bit pruny, but work well in combination with the chocolate and tea shadings that persist into the long, tart finish.

Ohiti is a subregion of Hawkes Bay, one of New Zealand’s warmer wine-growing areas, but this Chardonnay is tight and tart. Orange and lime, also tart pear flavors dominate. Needs time, but will the flavors ever truly unfurl?
