More red berries with strawberries to taste. OK, but on the simple side. (894 views) | | | Tasted by df1962 on 1/24/2022 & rated 86 points: PnP.
Honest if a bit simple. Can do better with coastal Chilean PN at this price point. (1061 views) | | | Tasted by Mckalm on 12/5/2021 & rated 89 points: Ljusröd, hög syra, jordgubb, lite skogsvegetation, örter, bra Beuff Bourgonon. (933 views) | | | Tasted by mjwstickings on 8/19/2021 & rated 87 points: This is a good Marlborough Pinot, honest and genuine if also fairly basic. Certainly on the light side, both in terms of colour and flavour, it shows nice cherry and raspberry fruit, plus some tart pomegranate, and there's just enough acidity to balance the overall perception of sweetness, coming through not just from the fruit but also from the earthy-sweet beetroot note. There's also mild oak, a sense of light caramel, even a touch of chocolate. (941 views) | | | Tasted by finevines90 on 4/3/2021 & rated 87 points: Light firebrick red. Enticing nose of red cherry, cranberry and sweet dry earth. Jacked up acidity makes it perfect pairing with a slippery meal. Easy drinking, light but present tannins. (802 views) | | | Tasted by Rosseland on 3/30/2021: God til chilligryte (745 views) | | | Tasted by jsturgi on 12/10/2020 & rated 80 points: Better than I expected! Light cherry notes with a smooth finish. (892 views) | | | Tasted by Livonietisr on 11/7/2020 & rated 84 points: Light, clear color. Aromatic nose of red cherries, strawberries, smoke, oak. Light body, low concetration, medium acidity, light tanins. Thin. Better drink cold. (867 views) | | | Tasted by thomas1978karlsen on 9/20/2020 & rated 82 points: Lett og frisk Pinot, kan drikkes alene eller med et lettere måltid, f.eks fisk og skalldyr. (878 views) | | | Tasted by jayw on 7/16/2020: Almost rose-like in body, weight, and color. The high acidity helps, but not enough to overcome the candied red fruit character of this untypical Pinot Noir. (599 views) | | | Tasted by Danneskjöld on 4/7/2020 & rated 83 points: Lys, klar farge.
Duft som kommer opp av glasset. Duft av røde bær, primært jordbær. I og for seg flott fruktdrevet duft.
Fersk og lett på smak. Veldig lette tanniner, og god syrlighet. Ok lengde.
Fersk og fin når servert kald. Så fort den får temperert seg litt blir den udrikkelig. Sikkert flott for den som liker isbiter i vinen sin.
84 når kald, samlet 83 grunnet ovennevnte. (890 views) | | | Tasted by Siggena on 12/29/2019: Helt grei kosevin (742 views) | | | Tasted by Henman on 12/6/2019 & rated 84 points: Medium bodied, smooth, acidic, showing odd generic dark fruit with some oak. Not much pinot typicity. Mediocre. (771 views) | | | Tasted by Romskip on 11/13/2019 & rated 80 points: «Tynn» ganske gjennomsiktig i glasset, og lett i smaken. En rødvin for de som ikke liker kraftig rødvin? Jordsmak, litt mineralsk, litt røyk. (745 views) | | | Tasted by C.Holywater on 9/13/2019: Closed, very young.
Red berries, raspberry, strawberry.
Light body, medium acidity, slightly bitter. (633 views) | | | Tasted by Matgok on 8/12/2019 & rated 78 points: Sprit, røyk, tusj (548 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.New Zealand New Zealand Wine (New Zealand Winegrowers)South Island Noeth Island (wine-pages.com)Marlborough Gisborne (New Zealand Wine)Marlborough .co.nz/home.htm Gisborne |
