Mud House Pinot Noir

Mud House 2008 Pinot Noir, Marlborough – NZ,

On the first sniff it takes me back to when I was a kid mucking out horse stables, yes barn yard why is it so inviting when you find it in a wine. Maybe it’s the promise of what’s to follow, now some damp forest floor & wild mushrooms. In the mouth there’s some crisp tannin’s with some ‘stalkiness’ maybe some whole brunch fermenting giving some greenish twigs and light red cherries, it is broad across the tongue with a great length and a silky feel. A great balanced Pinot, at good value for money in the low $20’s
