Whitehaven Pinot Noir Marlborough 2007 - Deep ruby with crimson hues. Ripe plum and bottled cherry fruit flavours, underlined with game and truffle complexities and oak char and spice. The palate is precise and balanced, with a fine tannin struture and a supple, velvety texture. Layers of flavour are revealed and linger on the long finish. Should keep well if cellered in an even, cool enviromentfor 3-6 years.
Spring was cool, followed by dry Summer and Autumn months. This ensured a long favourable growing season, clean fruit and intense varietal flavours.
