2008 Nautilus Marlborough New Zealand Pinot Noir
14.0% alc.,
$26, screw cap. Imported by Negociants USA Inc, Napa, CA. 7 day
cold soak, aged in French oak barrels. 5 clones from 6 vineyards.
·
Lovely aromas of dark red cherries, strawberries, raspberries with a
complimentary spice note. Highly perfumed right out of the bottle.
The flavors echo the aromas with added accents of sassafras and
savory herbs. Moderately rich with impressive persistence on the finish which
sports some restrained dry tannins. Charming and easy to drink. Still fine the
next day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Very good (+).
