New Zealand Pinot

Hello Wine Lovers!





It has been a week since my last posting, Valentine's Day 2010... I can't believe how fast time keeps moving! The good news for us folks living in the snow belt, spring is just around the corner, hang in there! Wine always helps!





Speaking of wine, lets talk Pinot Noir! I wrote about the sister to today's entry a while back, Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc and what a great value it was... well this Pinot will blow you away! Oyster Bay Pinot Noir, New Zealand and at $9.99 a bottle you can't pick this up fast enough!





Lots of fruit on the nose, ripe cherries and plums in the mouth and fairly low acidity with just enough structure to make this wine a winner. It has been aged in both stainless steel tanks and oak barrels, both new and old French oak. This wine has a lot of structure and finesse considering it's price tag. As I'm quite sure most of you know, it is nearly impossible to find a decent Pinot worth drinking for under $20, but this little number will keep you coming back for more.



Cheers!
