What to Expect

Pinot Noir: Responsible for some of the greatest wines on earth - the exhausted red wines of France's Burgundy region. Pinot Noir is a notoriously fickle grape that expresses its origins like no other. It's a vine that needs to struggle to produce great wines but when it does the depth of flavors that range from cherry to cola can be explosive and the wines' bright acidity and gentle tannins make them approachable and widely appealing,

Amisfield Pinot Noir the complexity, concentration and texture of great new world Pinot Noir with classic "dirty cherries".This is typical Central Otago Pinot with dark rich fruits, spicy aromas and undertones of smoke. Finished in a rich palate with fine silky tannins.

Suave and ripe, with plush depth to Asian spice, roasted duck, wild berry and black cherry flavors. Crushed stone nuances, judicious oak and sinuous tannins streamline the stylish finish. Drink now through 2011. 2,000 cases imported. -DS Wine Spectator. A Pinot Noir wine from Otago in New Zealand. 2005 Amisfield Pinot Noir 750ml

The region is renowned for producing world class Pinot Noir and aromatic white wines. The 2005 Pinot Noir has a deep crimson/magenta color. The nose suggests candied fruits, intense dark cherry and mocha characters lifted by toasty french oak.
