2009 Cambridge Road Martinborough New Zealand Pinot Noir

13.5% alc., pH 3.65, 600 cases. Imported by Terrell Wines, San Francisco, CA. A small vineyard on the Martinborough Terrace first planted in 1986 to Pinot Noir and Syrah. The vineyard is farmed biodynamically. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Very appealing aromatically with scents of wild cherry, rose petal, baking spice, vanilla and sandalwood. Discreetly concentrated core of flavorful black raspberry and black cherry fruits slightly shadowed by oak. The wine has good verve and brightness. A solid, but not inspirational wine. Score: 89.
