Dry River Martinborough NZ Pinot Noir 2008

95/100 55

Strong, sweet fruit with intense ripe cherry, plum, Oriental spices and classy oak. A formidable wine with layers of flavours that build toward its lengthy finish. This seriously impressive wine must silence critics who suggest that Dry River Pinot Noir lacks varietal character.

Tasted: May 2010    Average price: NZD $75 (~USD $63)
