The 2005 Crossings Pinot Noir embodies the hallmark characters of a very good vintage. Pinot Noir is a variety and red wine style relying greatly on the quality and character of fruit, thus the 2005 wine enjoys a natural mid-palate concentration and elegant tannic ripeness. The aromatic profile tilts toward a riper fruit spectrum with notes of tamarillo and dark plum lying beneath a varietal cherry nuance. This Pinot offers much fruit impact while lower than usual acidity helps make for a broad back-palate which leads onto a long, soft and integrated finish. A versatile Pinot Noir partner with red meats, game birds or enjoy after dinner with either cheese or chocolate desserts.

"Supple, with ripe plum, beetroot and pretty spice notes. Lively acidity, a dash of white pepper and mineral accents carry through the aftertaste. Drink now through 2009. 1,400 cases imported. –DS

"A strong effort from this project in Marlborough’s Awatere Valley, the 2005 Crossings Pinot Noir features an elusive perfume-scented bouquet of flowers and black cherries, silky tannins and crisp acids. Cocoa and cherry flavors linger prettily on the finish. — J.C. (12/15/2006)
