Saint Clair Pioneer Block 14 Pinot Noir 2008 Doctor's Creek, Marlborough
Fruit for this wine was sourced from Saint Clair's own vineyard at Doctor's Creek, and blended with a small amount from the Southern Valleys to add complexity. Bright ruby red in colour, aromas of raspberry and plum are complemented by lifted floral notes and a touch of spice. A luscious and soft palate with flavours of redcurrant, raspberries, cherries and an added warmth from ageing in new French oak barrels. This is perfectly matched with spring lamb or tuna and will drink well now or cellar over the next two to five years.
