Babich, Marlborough (New Zealand) Pinot Noir 2013

Dec 6, 2015

By Michael Apstein

The Marlborough region of New Zealand, though famous for its unique and electrifying style of Sauvignon Blanc, is not a one-trick pony, as this Pinot Noir clearly shows.  A lighter style of Pinot Noir, it delivers a delightful combination of red fruit, savory notes and spice.  It’s rare to find Pinot Noir with this finesse and quality at the price.  My advice:  Snap it up.
