Forrest, Marlborough (New Zealand) Pinot Noir 2010

This delicious, versatile Pinot Noir is based on purity much more than power, showing admirable delicacy that is appropriate to the grape variety and also restrained wood that likewise indicates a respectful approach in the cellar.  Red berry and black cherry fruit notes are generous without seeming obvious or heavy, and fine-grained tannins provide just the right degree of grip in the finish.  Great for grilled fish or white meat dishes.
