FALLEN ANGEL 2008 PINOT NOIR

This really well made wine from Central Otago is a dark full bodied Pinot Noir from New Zealand's top region for this variety. Intense dark color, classic floral fruit on the nose with a pleasing savory aspect to it, this generous red has a rich and complex palate with strong flavors of cherry, plum and spicy notes from 10 months in all French oak. It has a warm dense texture under pinned by firm fine tannin. Great drinking now; it has the potential to improve over the next three to five years.
