Pinot Noir

Central Otago Pinot Noir 2008
2006 ****1/2 FOUR 1/2 Stars in Winestate Magazine
A dark full bodied Pinot from New Zealand's top region for this variety.  Intense dark colour, classic floral fruit on the nose with a pleasing savoury aspect to it, this generous red has a rich and complex palate with strong flavours of cherry, plum and spicy notes from 10 months in all French oak.  It has a warm dense texture under pinned by firm fine tannin.  Great drinking now; it has the potential to improve over the next three to five years.
