2011 Black Estate Waipara Valley North Canterbury New Zealand Pinot Noir
14.0% alc., screwcap.
Imported by Terrell Wines, San Francisco, CA. A biodynamic, family owned vineyard planted on north facing
clay and limestone slopes.
·
Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. The nose opens with some struck
match reduction that resolves somewhat over time in the glass to reveal aromas of black cherry, briar and
seasoned oak. Light to mid weight flavors of juicy strawberry and cherry with a touch of spice and green
savory herbs. Good tension, with firm tannins showing up on the finish.
Score: 87.
