Pinot Noir, Martinborough, 2007

Quite probably one of the most sophisticated, refined and complex Pinots not to hail from Burgundy, Dr Neil McCallum’s rigour and attention to detail in particularly low-yielding vineyards together with a watchful but hands off approach to winemaking, result in wine of concentration intensity yet subtlety. The 2007 is glorious, fine herbal, floral very silky and long with a really juicy bite to it, pure, gentley extracted, acutely precise fruit characteristics of crushed cherries, boysenberries, brambles and raspberries, finishing long and fresh. Utterly seamless.
