Oyster Bay Pinot Noir 2010 Marlbough, New Zealand

The color is a light transparent garnet core surrounded by a wide light to medium salmon colored rim. The nose offers a medium intensity of mint and green herbs. There are slight and elusive aromas of sweet red fruit, maybe raspberry jam, and black licorice. On the palate the wine is dry, light bodied with a very low level of tannin (almost non-existent) along with a medium level of mouth-watering acidity. The flavors are very slight hints of green herbs. The finish is clean with a short length of the refreshing acidity at the end. Serve slightly chilled at 50F to 55F.

Wine & Food: This is a wine that would fit with grilled poultry and fish. Salads served with chicken or seafood would work along side this wine. Some complementary ingredients might be sun-dried tomatoes, roasted garlic, portobello mushrooms or any green herb.

Approximate Retail Price: US$20.00
