title: Rippon 2007 Pinot Noir (Central Otago)
description: It is a dark and earthy Pinot, with notes of clean compost, root beer and faint hints of campfire. This medium- to full-bodied wine boasts supple tannins that coast easily through a long, silky finish. Tasted from a 3L bottle in Central Otago (nonblind), the wine seemed much fresher, with more cherry fruit.
variety: Pinot Noir
