2006 Wild Rock Cupids Arrow Central Otago Pinot Noir
$16, screw cap. Imported by Korbrand
Corp., New York, NY.
·
A decent Pinot with an interesting nose of red cherry, fresh-mowed hay, and a little
barnyard. A grassiness also runs through the strawberry and raspberry flavors. Light and soft in the
mouth, the wine finishes with mildly drying tannins.
