The 2009 Pinot Noir presents a medium ruby-purple and intense black cherry, game, smoked meat, loam and black truffle notes. Crisp in the mouth with a medium level of finely grained tannins, this medium bodied Pinot has good concentration and a long savory finish. Approachable now, it should cellar to 2015.Since their debut in 1999, Hollywood A-lister and oenophile Sam Neill and winemaker Matt Dicey have fashioned a very natural, almost leafy style of Pinot Noir from their Gibbston and Alexandra Valley vineyards. The wines come across as far less ostentatious than their Central Otago peers and they tend to drink perfectly at 2-4 years of age.No known USA importer.
