It&#8217;s cloudy and beautifully expressive with a bit of spicy bite. Fresh with nice citrus, pear and ripe apples. There&#8217;s a bit of grapey sweetness and it finishes fresh. Lovely. 91\/100<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-16777\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5419-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"black star field blend\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5419-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5419-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5419-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5419.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Black Star Field Blend 2016 Waitaki, New Zealand<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is co-fermented Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and Gew\u00fcrztraminer from the cool region of Waitaki in north Otago.

Smooth and fresh with nice smoothness.
