Extensive Wine Review by Senior Wine Judge, Sam Kim

A nicely lifted nose displaying red/black cherry, spice and subtle mushroom characters. It’s juicy and gently weighted on the palate with well balanced acidity and fine tannins providing good balance and a lingering finish. An appealing and refreshing style Pinot. At its best: now to 2011. $29.00 Limited availability. 13.2% Screw cap. www.eliotbrothers.com. Oct 2009. 4 Stars

Wine of the week

Reviewed in May 2009 by Sue Courtney fromhttp://www.wineoftheweek.co.nz/
“Eliot Brothers Marlborough Pinot Noir 2007 (sc) Moderately dense in colour. Savoury and spicy, with a cherry infusion – distinctly pinot on the nose with that elusive, slightly visceral, pinot scent. A little sweeter than expected to the taste – a medium weight pinot with upfront sweetness becoming richer on the finish. At first the palate didn’t live up to the promise of the nose but soon redeemed that thought with a gorgeous finish with some violet, herb, hints of cinnamon and an intrinsic savouriness coming through. And then I loved it. 13.2% alc. 15May2009″.
