Nobilo, Marlborough (New Zealand) Pinot Noir 2008

Dec 16, 2009

By Michael Apstein

 This, Nobilo’s top-of-the-line Pinot Noir, emphasizes clean ripe, sweet cherry-like fruit flavors.  Earthy nuances peek out with air.  Supple suave tannins allow immediate enjoyment.  And thankfully, the under-14% stated alcohol allows the varietal character–Pinot Noir as opposed to “Pinot Syrah”–to shine.
