2008 Martinborough Vineyard "Te Tera" Pinot Noir

The Martinborough journey continues. I am struggling to find an Australian pinot that is as consistant as this region. Recently, I have tasted 2006-current vintages from this region and the consistent quality and core, unmistakeable, Martinborough characteristics shine through.
Anyway, back to the wine. Purchased from Vintage Cellars Coorparoo for $38. Dark crimson colour. Plum and spice nose and a tiny bit of sweetness. The palate has subtle oak and ultra fine tannin. Beautiful red fruit, pepper and spice dominate and last forever. This is a great wine. 90/100 and i would buy this again in an instant.
