At a recent wine show dedicated to New Zealand wines, this Pinot Noir really stood out to me. I loved the great aromatics and vibrant flavours of cherries and smoky wood. I get asked often my opinion if the most food friendly red wine, and I always say Pinot Noir. This Pinot from Oyster Bay is particularly delicious

An earthy and fruity Pinot Noir. Tart cherry and strawberry with a nice balance of spice and smoke on the nose. Great fruit flavour and balanced acidity. Try this with mushroom or pork dishes.

A smokey cherry and earthy pinot, that is rich in aromas and delivers on the palette. Nice acid and silky tannins. For the price, this a bargain to be discovered.

This wine smells pretty fricken awesome. Those aromas took me hook, line and sinker. Cherry, dried (sweeten) cranberry, vanilla, sweet sugar shack smoke and hints of wet stone minerality. Light+ tannins, light+ body, smooth luscious finish. Pair with Mexican Mole.

One whiff of this wine and you'll find yourself on the cover of a Harlequin romance novel, in the guise of a dark-haired swashbuckler, with his shirt ripped.Musky, smokey, but with ripe fruits as well.Chewy and tasty,meaty,if not overly complex.A very good value for the price.

A lovely earthy Pinot Noir with aroma cherry and raspberry, mushroom and fresh earth. Oyster bay is always a popular pick! Pair with a roasted mushroom pizza.

This mouth-watering Marlborough Pinot Noir has a nose of vanilla, tart red cherries and a hint of baking spice/cinnamon, repeated on the delicious palate with milk chocolate and subtle earthy notes. A very smooth balanced mouthfeel and lingering spicy cherry finish.
A versatile dry red that is a must for the upcoming holiday season.

A beautifully aromatic and flavourful expression of New Zealand Pinot Noir. Cherry, wood smoke, flint, and vanilla on the nose and repeat on the palate. A very expressive wine that delivers way above its price point. For under $20 you can not find better value Pinot Noir anywhere. Highly recommend trying this wine and enjoying over the holiday season and the next two to three years. Vintages release December 6, 2014. Tasted November 3, 2014. 91 points.

Brilliant red in the glass, this Pinot Noir has seductive aromas of cherries & vanilla that carry through on the palate, into a long warm finish. A perfect holiday staple from Thanksgiving turkey to Christmas Tortiere!

Natalie's Review
Oyster Bay Pinot Noir 2013, Marlborough, New Zealand: Toasty oak on the nose wraps around fleshy ripe black cherries. Full-bodied, mouth-watering juicy and smooth with a great finish. New Zealand Pinot Noir offers that unique combination of fleshy fruit and zingy juiciness. Oyster Bay is part of the Delegat wine portfolio and a solid producer of good value wines including this New Zealand Pinot Noir. Smoky oak and black cherry notes with some dark spice on the finish. Terrific with a wide range of dishes. Yum! Drink: 2014-2018. 590414 13.50% D 750 mL $19.95 Score: 91/100. April 18, 2015 Best Value Red Wine. Scrumptious Seafood Wine Full Review
