Mount Riley Pinot Noir 2007

Mount Riley is a family owned New Zealand company with strong traditional values and a focus on delivery of excellent value wines. We were established in 1992 by John Buchanan, who has been actively involved in the wine industry since the 1970’s. Mount Riley's Head Winemaker Bill Hennessy ("Digger") has been leading Mount Riley's winemaking since 1998. In 2004 John's youngest daughter Amy joined Mount Riley as Sales & Marketing Director. Mount Riley is run by a small, dedicated team. The passion held by our team for their craft ensures that wines of the highest quality are produced.

Since its first vintage in 1996, Mount Riley had been focused on over delivering quality for price and producing dependable wines that wine enthusiasts will love and seek out. Mount Riley has been one of the fastest growing Marlborough estates and is today among the top 10 vineyard owners in Marlborough and the top 20 wineries in NZ in terms of total sales.

A really vibrant mid-red with purple / violet hues colouration gives this yummy Pinot a head start. The bouquet has enticing blackcurrant, plum and violet characters, supported by spicy white pepper and savoury notes. A seriously scrumptious supple wine with concentrated, fresh fruit flavours, fine tannins and a clean crisp finish.
Drinking well now, this wine will continue to drink well up to 2010.

The aroma has fresh raspberries and strawberries, with some herbal and stemmy overtones. The palate has lovely fresh berries, fine tannin structure, with well integrated oak and acid. It has lovely length and persistence, and is still remarkable youthful. Great opportunity to see how a well made Pinot Noir matures and acquires complexity and interest. Delicious savoury notes with dark stone-fruit and great length with just the most wonderful degree of acidity which combines all the parts perfectly. Simply smashing at this time of year, with something as simple as slow cooked quality lamb shanks, or as exotic as a chilli roasted quail on cous cous. If you want to watch the Cricket, sailing, relax with the family around the BBQ or simply de-stress and enjoy stunning Pinot Noir I feel privileged to offer you this vintage.

A lovely Dark Ruby colour assaults your eye straight away. The nose shows aromas of plums, mocha with floral notes dominating.

An underlying spicy/cinnamon complexity is already evident at this early age and will develop savoury, gamey characters with bottle age. The Palate is sweet fruit dominating with softness and balance. Silky tannin structure accentuates the fruit elegance giving a beautifully integrated and balanced wine.
