Winemaker's Notes
|
| This wine was aged in 25% new French oak barrels and 75% older French oak barrels. This has contributed to the development of a complex and structured wine with powerful and ripe, spicy fruit driven tannins. This Pinot Noir has aromas of ripe black cherries and violets with a lovely earthy complexity underpinned with subtle liquorice characters. This is a full-bodied wine with an elegant tannin structure and a lingering finish. This wine will repay cellaring for three to five years. |

| 75 | | | 93 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Medium-bodied dry red wine; medium dark cherry red. Initial smoky aromas segue into aromas of dried herb and dark cherry, wonderfully integrated. On the palate, dried herb-infused dark fruits. Suggestion of dried cranberry. Soft tannins, well integrated with fruit. Finish concludes with sweet fruit and dried herb. Beautifully balanced. Staete Landt was the name Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer, gave to New Zealand.
Suggested Food Pairings:
Simple grilled salmon; barbecued salmon; blackened salmon; grilled or baked salmon with beurre rouge; blackened salmon.. Other stuff: roast chicken, Cornish hen or turkey; mild, creamy cheeses, such as Delice de Bourgogne, creamy mild blue cheeses such as Fourme d’Ambert.
