Kim Crawford Pinot Noir 2012, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand: Central Otago grapes adds blacker berry fruit whereas South Island is brighter red fruit. Lusciously ripe fruit with mouth-watering juiciness. This is why I love New Zealand Pinot Noir! Lovely fruit with light oak (10% new French oak) with 60% oak total, and 40% in stainless steel oak. Oak is just for a bit of spice and to fill out the palate. Drink: 2013-2016. 626390 13.50% D 750 mL  $19.95 Score: 91/100. September 11, 2013 Full Review
