The Tiki brand of Royce and Sue McKean has the ‘Estate’ tier as their main focus. These are the wines that have the broadest exposure in the marketplace and always offer accessibility. Every once in a while, the Tiki winemakers deem certain parcels of fruit to be very representative of the character of the site from where they are grown. These parcels are single out for the ‘Single Vineyard’ designation. Invariably they have a degree of more interest and the quality may be a step up if uniqueness and expression of provenance is considered a factor of importance, which is, among wine enthusiasts. Here, I review the 2014 ‘Single Vineyard’ Marlborough Pinot Noir. www.tikiwine.com
