Quartz Reef Pinot Noir 2002
Central Otago, South Island, New ZealandThe '02 Central Otago pinots are on a lot of must buy lists and after tasting the Quartz Reef it's easy to know why. Celery salt, rootsy, leafy, smoky, black cherry aromas mark the nose of this super silky red with spicy, juicy black cherry, smoky vanilla flavours. Smooth and ready to drink it has fine flavour intensity and ripeness. It lacks the finesse we see in Sonoma and perhaps Marlborough but a very attractive drinking style.Tasted: 21 May 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $43.00 | 750ml | Estimated Retail |
