The Martinborough region of New Zealand produces wonderful Pinot Noirs. When visiting the region be sure to include the Vynfield Vineyard. Vynfields is a boutique organic/biodynamic vineyard, located 3 minutes from the Martinborough Village Square, which also offers self-contained accommodation. It's a beautiful location and a wonderful place to taste wine and have lunch. www.vynfields.com

My friends, Paul & Denise Dennis own Silverwood in the Mornington Peninsula of Victoria Australia. It's not yet available in the US but if your're in Australia be sure and try their Estate Pinot Noir. They just received a 94 rating from James Halliday:
*****
Silverwood Cellars Estate Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir 2007
Bright colour; cherry and a touch of plum with an attractive spice backbone to the fruit; quite velvety on entry, with good fruit definition, and a brightness to the finish that is even, fine and long. Screwcap.
13.4% alc. Rating 94 Drink 2014 A$31.95 Date Tasted Mar 09

Enjoyed a 2007 Ken Wright Cellars, Abbott Claim Vineyard Pinot Noir on Friday night that was wonderful. Full and rich -- the way I like a good pinot noir. Ken Wright Cellars is in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. |
