2007 Black Label Marlborough Pinot Noir
Tasting Note
Fruit of exceptional ripeness and flavour was
harvested from our Stone Creek Vineyard
producing a wonderful classic Marlborough
Pinot Noir.
Aromas of black cherries with underlying
Black Doris plums and vanilla beans take a
sensual journey along the nasal passage.
A silky palate envelopes the tongue like a
satin sheet. Cherries predominate with subtle
earthy forest floor, truffle and mushroom
notes creating interest.
A long smooth finish completes the
experience, leaving the taster relaxed and
content, yet craving more.
A wine of passion for passionate people.
Enjoy with roasted red meats. May be cellared
for 4 – 6 years.

Quite a fruit bomb style with masses of ripe plum and spicy oak flavours. Soft-textured and quite elegant wine in a lighter style. Full of charm. Very drinkable now. 86/100 - Bob Campbell MW, August 2009
