The red wine Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir, vintage 2003 from the winery Cloudy Bay has been rated in 2005 with 89 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Pinot Noir from the region Marlborough in New Zealand.
Medium ruby garnet, broad rim brightening. Soft cherries on the nose, overall characterized by delicate caramel wood spice, vanilla. Some nougat and heart cherries on the palate, underlaid with cinnamon and hints of precious wood, reminded me personally of California à la Byron, all in all a little commercial, yet an easily understandable, likeable style.
