2010 Archangel Central Otago New Zealand Pinot Noir
14.0% alc., screwcap. Imported by Terrell Wines, San Francisco, CA. An organically farmed estate on elevated schist gravel terraces near Wanaka. Highly mineral-rich soils lead to rich, lush wines. · Moderately dark reddish purple hue in the glass. A bold, opulent, ripe style of fruit-driven wine with aromas and flavors of cassis, black cherry, boysenberry, toast and tobacco. Soft and almost creamy with some tannic support. Not much terroir to be found in this wine, but the flavors are very satisfying and it is well-crafted in this style. Score: 89. Reviewed October 21, 2014 ARTICLE »
