Saint Clair Pinot Noir 2006
Pinot Noir
from Marlborough, New Zealand
winemaker's notes:
Color: Bright ruby red.
Aroma: Lifted notes of raspberries,
blackberries and boysenberries are
complemented by subtle savory
notes.
Palate: A luscious, medium-bodied Pinot
Noir with a round, soft, full palate,
well-balanced acidity, supple tannins
and lingering flavors. Blackberry
and boysenberry dominate the
palate and are supported by hints of
raspberry and redcurrant. The wine
has rich savory notes on the palate
with a full, lingering finish.
Aging: This wine is drinking beautifully
now and patient cellaring will be
rewarded during the next four to five
years.
Food pairings: Ideal with red meat dishes, strongly flavored fish dishes, or pasta with
tomato-based sauces.
