Schubert Wines ‘Marion’s Vineyard’ Pinot Noir 2008
Wairarapa, New Zealand $39.95 14.5% alcohol
This is a beauty—hand-picked, de-stemmed, cold soaked and fermented in small batches. What does that mean to you?—that lifted aromas and balanced succulent flavours abound with ripe mulberry, savoury black plum and spiced black cherry to the fore. There’s a whiff of oak from 13 months in French barrels, medium to full body and a very generous texture. The aftertaste is lingering and oozing with tangy delectable red berry fruit.
