Rockburn Central Otago Pinot Noir 2010
Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Pinot Noir, Drink now or cellar, 14% alc.
Rockburn Wines Pinot Noir 2010 scooped a gold medal at the 2011 NZ International Wine Show. Rockburn's winemaker, Malcolm Rees-Francis, commented, "The prevailing opinion locally is that the 2009 and 2010 vintages are a rare pairing of very high quality years; this gold medal is the first for our 2010 and is a strong signal it will follow in the footsteps of its illustrious predecessor which is still being widely enjoyed today."
A consistent performer, this wine is "very deeply fruited with delicate floral tones enhanced by nuances of dark chocolate, and supple, lithe tannins leading into a very long finish...classic Rockburn elegance, integrity and balance."

Rockburn Central Otago Twelve Barrels Pinot Noir 2009
Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Pinot Noir, Drink now or cellar, 14% alc.
Rockburn Twelve Barrels is exactly that. From all the hundreds of barrels filled every year, winemaker Malcolm Francis handpicked and blended the barrels that most eloquently speak of site and season, and exhibit what he enjoys most about Pinot Noir – subtlety, elegance and personality.
"Ruby red in color, the 2009 Twelve Barrels Pinot Noir has faintly floral lavender and rose aromas over a core of raspberries and dark cherries plus a savory soy and meat. Crisp, concentrated and tight-knit with chewy tannins, it has a long finish with the cedar poking through slightly. Approachable now, it should drink to 2015+." 90 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, erobertparker.com, #197
