BEST OF THE BUNCH

By Bob Campbell  

Neill 1997 Two Paddocks Pinot Noir

$28 -- Drink now or cellar for up to 5 years.

First release from a brand new Central Otago winery owned by actor Sam Neill. Strong cherry and plum flavours with savory, gamy influence that adds greater complexity and interest. The wine has good richness, impressive concentration and a silken texture. Available in limited quantities.
