Saint Clair Marlborough Pinot 2007

Written by Ray Johnson

Marlborough | New Zealand | Pinot Noir

Saint Clair, Marlborough, Pinot Noir 2007 Give this new vintage a little air to blow off a bit of reductive character. The fruit is quite alive in the mouth, clean and lively with a price that makes it a great value! The previous vintage was the class favorite on the night it was served almost one year ago: supple and fruit forward, ready to drink on the spot. My Adelaide classmate Sarina Ibbotson’s family vineyard and winery; winemaker Matt Thomson. Bottled under screwcap. P&B in Blenheim 13% $14.49 at Bottle Barn
