title: Wairau River 2006 Home Block Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
description: A decent effort from a difficult vintage in Marlborough, combining slightly fungal notes of sous-bois with oaky notes of vanilla and cedar, then adding in hints of tomato on the palate. Given the presence of so much decay and earthiness, drink this over the near term.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Home Block
