Dog Point Vineyard Pinot Noir 2006
“…..is a purple-tinged ruby red colour, deeply translucent but not opaque. It's very fine smelling, savoury and earthy with smoky nuances, a well-balanced subtle sweetness and a delicate suggestion of herbs. The flavours are lifted with a bright spice-infused savouriness and a gorgeously expansive mouth feel as the flavour (which I detect a slight saltiness to) leaves a lovely light lingering impression as if it has coated the mouth with the finest silk. Tasted again last night, the texture is now more like crushed velvet and the ripe cherry and plum fruit has emerged.”
