Who Knew Mud Could Taste Soooo Good?

So the other night, a dahling g/f of mine popped over and we indulged in an amazing bottle of Pinot from Central Otago, New Zealand.  Mudhouse Wines boasts high end products that have won many accolades in the industry, with "every bottle that leaves their vineyard is a highly qualified ambassador for premium New Zealand wine."  

This 2008 vintage was sourced from a single vineyard with a climate of a long warm summer with cool nights ~ which in turn result in perfect ripening conditions for a Pinot Noir!!! Yum 

yum!!!  

On the palate, this wine showed flavors of plums & spicy herbs, with a distance of Maraschino cherry.  As this is matured in new and used French oak barrels for up to 12 months, the oakness shows through perfectly within the fine mix of tannins.  This 100% P.N. is a must pick up for anyone's cellar, as it is around a $25 bottle that will be great for drinking in the next 3 years.

Grab a bottle and a good friend or two and enjoy this

 little gem!!!
