Valli 2011 Gibbston Vineyard Pinot Noir (Central Otago)

Country: New Zealand / Gibbston Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir Central Otago
Winery: Valli /

Gibbston Valley is one of the coolest parts of Central Otago, so its fruit is often blended with that from other regions. This medium-bodied wine is all Gibbston—tart, wiry and herbal, with pie cherry fruit and lemony acids on the finish. Despite all that, the tannins are nicely ripe.
