Martinborough Vineyard
Martinborough Terrace Pinot Noir
Martinborough, Wairarapa, North Island, New Zealand
This was sooooo good, even though I am somewhat biased towards Martinborough. It is holding together beautifully while still showing nice development and secondary characteristics - it just went down so easily!!!

Campfire nose when the bottle was opened. Earthy and spicy with a slight iron like finish

A nice surprise from my wine buddy Lucille. So rich and velvety with lovely characteristic Martinborough tannin. Loved it!

2000 this has paced out the years with dignity dried raspberries and muted sherbet with wonder duster autumn flowers and a wiff of forest floor funk, grand worth a wait
