Is New World Pinot any good ?

What is the fuss about the New World Pinot-Noirs ? Who wants to drink young pinot-noir? Pinot should be a warm velvety flavour, 8 or nine years on a classic burgundy is hard to beat.

Well, a good burgundy is very hard to beat. They are fabulous. Sometimes, sadly they are quite expensive. Tonight I had some griddled meats for supper. A little bit of chicken and some sausages - a mixed grill is always a delight. We opened a Kiwi Pinot. The Montana South Island Pinot Noir 2007 to give it its full name and year

It was fabulous. Ok, it still is - I write this article at my kitchen table with a third of the bottle left. This wine is probably about 6 months old. It has been shipped half way around the world. It is fabulous.

Why are the New Zealand boys and girls making wine in Marlborough region so clever and darned good at their job ? They give us fabulous, almost unrivalled value for money sauvignon blanc's and now they are doing fabulously with pinot noir - and before the wine is out of nappies ! I am very tempted to hide a few bottles in the cellar to come back to in later years .. what do you think ?

Would really like to get another bottle out to open now !
