With pinot noir the fruit is always the primary focus. Each vineyard block is harvested as a separate parcel and treated individually at each stage of the winemaking process. This enables us to influence and enhance the wine using traditional winemaking techniques, adding subtlety and complexity. We use a combination of barrel and tank fermentation and mature the wine in a mix of new and older French oak. Oyster Bay Marlborough Pinot Noir is elegant cool climate pinot noir at its best. Fragrant, soft and flavourful with aromas of ripe cherries and sweet fruit tannins that provide structure and length.

(2009 Oyster Bay Pinot Noir; New Zealand, Marlborough region (best are usually from Central Otago, but Marlborough is pretty good too); Color: Nice medium purple with almost a tannic/tea like structure. Nose: Sensational...Nice mix of strawberry, a little cranberry, and a hint of earthiness. Taste: Overall, a solid very good. Initially is a bit coarse, not overly refined. Flavors are intiially candied cherry with some strawberry as well. Midpalate becomes primarily candied, with a continuation of red fruit and a little earthiness. Finishes with a vegetal note, which would works well with food. On its own, I don't love the finish. Also shows a bit more alcohol on the finish than I would like. I can recommend this wine quite a bit, although it may not be for everyone. Also quite good with food. QPR: For Pinot, excellent. Overall, solid but not great QPR. Currently if looking for a Pinot noir, would choose La Crema over this one.

Competed against 253 Pinot Noirs in the International Wine Competition in San Francisco and was 1 out of 15 to be awarded the highest medal, Gold.
