2010 Terra Sancta “Jackson Block” Bannockburn Central Otago New Zealand Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., pH 3.59, TA
0.58, 350 cases, $29.99, screwcap. Imported by Terrell
Wines, San Francisco, CA. The winery name means “sacred
earth or special place.” Sourced from the 64-acre estate that
contains four vineyards. This block runs along Felton Road
where the vines grow in schist gravels. This bottling is named
after Jackson Barry, who ranged the area telling yearns and seeking
fame and fortune.
·
Moderately dark reddish purple color in the glass.
Floral, earthy and fruity (black cherry) on the nose. A full-bodied and
delicious attack of blackberry, Hoison sauce, black tea, dark chocolate
and spice flavors saturate the palate. A good grip of dry tannins are in
line with the fruit load in this very suave wine with a velvety mouthfeel that is particularly majestic. A
compliment of oak and a generous, lengthy finish complete the picture.
Score: 93.
