Dry River 2008 Pinot Noir (Martinborough)

Country: New Zealand /
Variety: Pinot Noir Martinborough
Winery: Dry River /

This was an interesting showing for Dry River’s 2008 Pinot, which seems to be showing more structure now than when I first tasted it last November. Now it’s a bit blockier than I remember it, with potent cherry-berry fruit, a bit of vanilla and an long finish that ultimately smooths out and turns silky. Try 2013–2020.
