What the winery says about the Omihi Hills Reserve Pinot Noir 2008 . . . .

Ruby hue. Complex and intriguing bouquet of deep red roses, red and black forest fruits, fertile earth, crushed oyster shells. A tightly wound core of tannin gives the wine impression of place before variety. Cherry stone, earth, and chalk with a silken coat of dark cherry, vanilla, and subtle spice.
