Now here is a great buy. I don’t recall what compelled me to purchase this bottle but I am glad that I did. This is a New Zealand Pinot and it has really sparked my interest. It has been more than a week since I actually drank it (I backdated this entry) so I do not recall the details of its flavor and texture and all, but I do remember enjoying it quite a bit and kept the empty bottle around so I could write about it when I had time.
Here is a description for you from www.wine-club-central.com
Deep garnet red. The wine shows fragrant wild berry aromas, dark plum, a hint of tobacco and fine intergrated oak toast. The palate also shows these dark berry fruits and exhibits a mouth-filling, ripe fruit sweetness. Soft, supple tannins give this wine excellent mouth-feel.
Priced just more than $10, I highly recommend this selection if you come across it. I had the Reserve so I can’t speak for the other grade.

Ah great, I’m visiting New Zealand this month and I can now take a recommendation with me. I’ll look for a Marlborough reserve. I’m not a huge Pinot fan, but love Big Reds. Just discovered your blog here in California!
