What the winery says about Waitiri Creek Pinot Noir 2008 . . . .

The nose displays complex notes of stewed cherries, cedar and mushrooms. This Pinot Noir shows the elegance of the 2008 vintage with a bright garnet hue and the perfume of violets and rose petals. The fruit driven palate has flavours of wild raspberries with hints of cinnamon, red cherries and succulent plums. On the finish there is a note of thyme and mushrooms. The silky tannins are woven seamlessly into a structure balanced by savoury French oak and alcohol. Whilst pleasant to drink now, the wine is youthful stiff, and will also benefit from agin. Cellar for 2-10 years.

What we say . . . .

Waitiri Creek produce some of the best Pinot Noir you will find in Central Otago.  An elegant vintage with rich plum and cherry fruits, great balance of acidity and tannins. Enjoy now but you can happily cellar for another 7-8 years.
