I am really beginning to like the Pinot's from New Zealand. I don't think I have had a bad one yet. This bottle has a bit of the barnyard aromas. I get bright red fruit, cherries, strawberries. The taste on the palate is smooth and elegant, very well made with good balance. Tart cherry, strawberry, spices, a good minerality and true acidity. Peter Yealands, the owner contends that he "set about making great wines with minimal environmental impact; finding ways to stay in step with nature at every stage of production - from his Babydoll sheep that do the weeding in the vineyard to his carboNZero certified winery." I love when winemakers are environmentally conscious and make good solid wine. Great QPR, $18 bones. www.yealands.co.nz — 13 years ago
