Yealands Pinot Noir Marlbourgh 2008
Here’s a quick review of a really reasonably priced Pinot. I was shocked at the value and quality for $14. Purchased from Wine Library, I’m hoping they get this back in stock as it hit the perfect balance of a wine worth drinking and one worth savoring. Here are my notes:
Very pretty scents of cranberry and sandlewood – a very distinct pinot smell and flavor. Some acidity and earthiness mixed from the beginning. Has cranberry and strawberry flavors. Earthy mushroom and tobacco intermixed. Good balance on the wine and a little acidity helps from making the wine have that candied fake taste that alot of the Pinots in this price range suffer from.

Overall this is an extremely well made wine for the price. I’ve not seen many pinots for $14 match this quality. The body and flavor plus the nose make this a good buy. My rating on this wine is a Brick Solid! I’d definitely go back for more.
