My Take on the Wine: 
Rating: 6/10
Price Guide: $15 – $20
In My Own Words:
A very easy to drink Pinot Noir. Soft on the palate, with very fine velvet tannins. A strong raspberry and plum taste yet delicate enough to announce a subtle oak flavour.
Not outstanding, but an easy to drink Pinot.

Twin Islands Pinot Noir

Marlborough Twin Islands Pinot Noir 2007First released in 1992, Twin Islands Marlborough Pinot Noir offers excellent
full flavoured wines at great value. Fruit is sourced from selected vineyards
in the Marlborough region which enjoy excellent ripening conditions for
flavour-development in Pinot Noir.
Twin Islands Marlborough Pinot Noir 2007 is bright ruby in colour with a vibrant aroma of
raspberry and spicy plums. The palate is medium bodied with soft tannins and a subtle oak
influence. This wine is ready to drink now but can be expected to gain more complexity over
the next 12-18 months.
This wine is great drinking now or over the next two years.
Winemaking/Viticulture
This wine is produced from 100% Marlborough Pinot Noir fruit, grown on selected vineyard
sites in the Wairau Valley. All the fruit was processed in our specialised Pinot Noir winery
using principles of minimal handling and gravity flow. A period of cold soak prior to
fermentation allowed extraction of only the soft water soluble tannins. After fermentation
the wine underwent a period of oak maturation prior to blending. This wine is made with the
Twin Islands philosophy of producing fruitful, ready to drink wines with immediate appeal
and impeccable pedigree.
