2010 Over The Edge Martinborough New Zealand Pinot Noir
14.0% alc., $11, screw cap. Imported by
Meadowbank Estates, Alexandria, VA.
·
Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. Weighed down by oak
trappings, this wine still presents good value. Aromas of black cherries, plum sauce and oak spice and smoke.
Rustic and earthy as Martinborough Pinots can be, with a medium bodied core of darker fruits including flavors
of blackberry and cassis. Very smooth on the palate, leaving a finish with oak in its wake. Decent.

2008 Over The Edge Martinborough New Zealand Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., $13, screw cap. Imported by Meadowbank Estates,
Alexandria, VA. Second label of Escarpment. Winemaker Larry
McKenna.
·
Medium reddish-purple color in the glass. Deep and
intense aromas of black cherries, black raspberries and plum sauce.
Delicious core of darker fruits including black currents. Full-bodied
and Caliesque in style but with restrained tannins and a soft, sexy and plush
mouth feel. I dare you to find a better Pinot anywhere in the world at this price.
Highly recommended. Very good.
