Rebecca Salmond Marlborough Pinot Noir 2009
From the sloped vineyard in the Brancott Valley, this is a stylish Pinot displaying complex aromas of red/dark cherry, spice, dried herb and cedary oak character. The palate is beautifully fruited showing silky texture, lovely mid palate weight and find, gently drying tannins. The wine is elegant yet richly flavoured with greater complexity to come with further cellaring.
