Tonight&#8217;s tipple is a good one &#8211; my comfort drinking &#8211; Kiwi Pinot Noir. It&#8217;s from Central Otago pioneer, and Irish ex-pat, Alan Brady, and it&#8217;s from the cool Gibbston subregion. (That&#8217;s cool as in thermal, not hipster.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wild Irishman Three Colleens Pinot Noir 2008 Central Otago, New Zealand<\/strong><br \/>\n13.5% alcohol. This is a very fresh, elegant expression of Central Otago Pinot Noir, made from a young block of vines at 450 m altitude in the already cold Gibbston subregion. The nose shows fresh cherry fruit with nice warm spice and herb complexity. The palate is fresh and elegant with a nice green sappiness alongside ripe, quite textured, sweet cherry and berry fruits. It&#8217;s very drinkable and quite complex, leaning towards a lighter, more elegant style of Pinot, which I like. Might be worth chilling this down just a touch to get the most from it. Serious effort. 92\/100 (\u00a323.50 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.therealwineco.co.uk\/product.php?xProd=540\" target=\"_blank\">The Real Wine Company<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just back from my first game of football in a while, so it&#8217;s time for a glass of wine.
