2010 TOSQ Vineyards Central Otago New Zealand Pinot Noir

14.0% alc., screwcap. Imported by Terrell Wines, San Francisco, CA. Family owned and tended organic vineyard in the Pisa district of Central Otago. Second release. · Moderate ruby color in the glass. Aromas of cherry, boysenberry, forest floor and rose petal lead to a full-flavored attack of black cherry and plum fruits. The finish is very generous and expansive, but is marked by oak and plenty of astringent tannins. The initial impression with this wine is very favorable, but it looses appeal over time in the glass, becoming rather linear and tannic. Score: 87. Reviewed October 21, 2014
