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,

Weaker than I expected. A bit of cherry, but tasted thin to me without a lot underneath.

Varietal 100% Pinot Noir Closure Screw Cap Size 750ml Alc/Vol 13.5% Enjoy Now - 2010 2006 was one of Martinborough's best for pinot noir with a classic warm summer that extended through the autumn to harvest. Vine health was excellent leading to the fruit to be harvested at optimum maturity- ripeness and flavour. Dark Ruby in colour. Aromas of plums and mocha with floral notes dominate the nose. An underlying spicy/cinnamon complexity is already evident at this early age and will develop savoury- gamey characters with bottle age. Sweet fruit dominates with softness and balance.

Aromas of plums and mocha and lovely floral notes dominate the nose. There is an underlying spicy/cinnamon complexity already evident at this early stage and it will develop savory, gamey characters with bottle age. Some silky tannins accentuate the fruit, giving a beautifully integrated wine. Decant this young wine six hours ahead of serving and enjoy it as it unfolds. Try it with lamb, quail, pheasant, or duck. Sensational with mature cheeses. Great to enjoy now or cellar until 2009.
