2009 Pyramid Valley Calvert Central Otago Pinot Noir
2009 Pyramid Valley Calvert Central Otago Pinot Noir
|
|
The 10ha site has three of NZ's leading wineries making their pinot from it with Felton Road and Craggy Range being the other two. ( Its situated 500meters away from Felton Block 3 and 5 ). 91/100 from Parkers Wine Advocate that writes "The 2009 Calvert Vineyard Central Otago Pinot Noir comes from 11 year old vines on schist. It displays a deep ruby-purple color and meaty/gamey aromas over a core of black cherry and black raspberry plus hints of some tar, anise and menthol. Full bodied and concentrated in the mouth, it has chewy tannins, medium-high acid and a long savory finish. Drink it now through 2015+.
Mike and Claudia Weersing continue to work nature’s magic on their wines. The results are truly unique wines that can only come from these creative hands working out of this pretty patch just inland from the Waipara. Even more exciting is that the quality straight across the estate and growers labels just gets better and more consistent each year from this relatively new operation. The Growers Collection is a range of wines sourced from throughout New Zealand that have been grown organically and are made by Mike. The Home Vineyards Collection represents wines that are wines produced biodynamically off the small but beautiful “home” estate in North Canterbury. Both ranges are well worth seeking out."
