Mike and Claudia Weersing are still the only growers in the limestone-rich Pyramid Valley north of Christchurch, having begun to plant their biodynamic micro-vineyard in 2000. This is one of their Growers Collection series from Central Otago and (in this case) Marlborough; 9600 bottles were made. It is an exquisitely perfumed wine with red flowers and violets, the texture of brocade silk, the palate pure, fine and extremely long.

Receiving 15% whole cluster and aged 15 months in French oak, 33% new, on original lees, the 2007 "Eaton Family Vineyard" Pinot Noir has a medium ruby color. There's a funky/wild character on the nose over aromas of warm strawberries and raspberries, game, earth, forest floor, loam, truffles and a whiff of dried herbs. Very crisp and tight in the mouth, this medium-full bodied Pinot gives a medium level of silky tannins with great flavor concentration and a long layered finish. Drink it now to 2015+. 92+
