Te Kairanga Martinborough Pinot Noir – 2006 – 8.8 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

Te Kairanga Martinborough Pinot Noir is quite forward with it’s cranberry, dried cherry tartness that you wonder will this come through as a Pinot Noir. Fortunately it does this Pinot Noir gives some vocal notes of red pepper, forest floor, citrus (believe it or not– and that is not a bad thing), some subtle Tandoori spices.

¡Salud!
