Te Henga 2009 Pinot Gris



General: From the small wine stash I keep down the coast, this was for the start of a long lunch in the autumn sun

Variety: Pinot Gris

Region: Marlborough, NZ

Alcohol: 14.0%

Bouquet: My mistake in having started this when too chilled, the nose was rather closed.

Flavour: Excellent. It is well balanced and had great length. The texture is very nice, and serves the flavours of pear with possibly some cinnammon well.

Points: 85

Notes: From one of the big discount chains. $14.00 (251 Kc), I'll grab a couple more bottles for the cellar.
