Villa Maria Pinot Noir Taylors 04

$56.90 750 MLS

14.5% alc., fruit from the Taylors Pass vineyard in the Awatere Valley. 11 months in 20% new French oak. Deepish ruby red colour with purple hues. Fresh, bright cherry and strawberryish fruit, with a slight stalkiness on bouquet. Fresh and crisp on palate with bright cherry/berry fruit flavours. The acidity is lively. Fruit is still tight and bound. Well-balanced extraction with moderate tannin grip in the mouth. Still primary and relatively simple. A pretty wine to many tasters. My score 17.0+/20 RC June 06
