Waitaki River, Otago
2011
$60.oo
The seductive perfume of red and black fruit, dry spice and cherry fill the
nostrils. For me this wine shows more style and elegance than most NZ Pinot
Noir’s which I find to big and in your face.
The 2011 vintage was blessed with a long warm growing period producing
some ripe balanced and well flavoured wines.
Also may I point out for the people that just don’t know 2011 was a ripper
vintage in Waitaki River, Otago.
Medium red Pinot colour that dose not give too much away when it comes to
what you are about to receive.
There is good acidity backed with fine tannin and a hint of minerals running
through the clean almost pure Pinot fruit.
This for me will be the benchmark that I measure Caroline’s Pinot. I also think
you should tuck a few bottles away as I think some bottle age will reward you
with some stunning and classic Pinot Noir.
