Tasting - Takutai Pinot Noir



Name: Takutai Pinot Noir
Variety: Pinot Noir
Region: Nelson
Country: New Zealand
Year: 2009
Price: $14.95

Winery Review:  Spicy cherry, raspberry, and wild rose aromas with toasty, licorice oak in support.  On the palate the wine exhibits soft fruit tannins, delicate structure, and a good balance.  A highly likeable, flavor packed wine for consumers new to the delights of the Pinot grape.

My Review:  Cherry and spice combine with oak and toasty aromas.  Big tannins and jammy on the mid-palate with a dry finish.  I did not have this wine with food.
