Oyster Bay Pinot Noir 2006

"The philosophy of Oyster Bay is to produce fine, distinctively regional wines that are elegant and
assertive with glorious fruit flavors. With every vintage we are working with more established
vines from small vineyard sites, each chosen for its aspect and uniform soils of moderate fertility,
providing for extended ripening and enhanced fruit flavor profiles. With pinot noir the fruit
is always the primary focus. Each vineyard block is harvested as a separate parcel and treated
individually at each stage of the winemaking process. This enables us to influence and enhance
the wine using traditional winemaking techniques, adding subtlety and complexity. We use a
combination of barrel and tank fermentation and mature the wine in a mix of new and older
French oak. Oyster Bay Marlborough Pinot Noir is elegant cool climate pinot noir at its best.
Fragrant, soft and flavorful with aromas of ripe cherries and sweet fruit tannins that provide
structure and length." Notes from the winemaker
