Reviewed wines produced from this vineyard
2008 Tarras Vineyards Central Otago New Zealand Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., $25, screw cap. Imported by
USA Wine West, Sausalito, CA. An estate wine from The Steppes Vineyard.
·
Moderate ruby color in the glass.
Deep aromas of dark berries, wine cellar and smoky oak. California in style, with copious dark berry and
cherry flavor supported by moderately firm tannins, finishing with an undertone of oak on the fruit-driven finish.
Displaying to much oak influence for me at this stage. Good.
