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+
