Pencarrow Pinot Noir 2005
Pinot Noir
from Martinborough, New Zealand
winemaker's notes:
The 2005 season in Martinborough delivered a light crop with intense
color and ripe flavors and tannins. This Martinborough Pinot Noir
was made with traditional Burgundian techniques including a prefermentation
maceration, which allows wild yeast to initiate the
fermentation and a post-fermentation maceration to ensure the
complex tannin structure. After pressing it was matured in French
oak casks for 12 months.
Deep red color. Intense ripe fruit flavors of ripe plum and red and
black berry fruits backed by nice oak characters. The palate is full of
ripe flavors and tannins and is round and lingering.

This wine was too bitter; peppery; for my taste.

Paired with a (slightly spicy) pasta of roasted yellow peppers and shallots.
This was surprising, although a bit young. Easy to go back for a 2nd glass (and a 3rd!)
