Shaky Bridge 2006 Pinot Noir: A kiwi delight


When you think of France you think of Bordeaux, when you think of Napa you think of Cabernet Sauvignon and when you think of New Zealand you think of Pinot Noir.


I love tasting wines that are from a region that excels in that varietal but often not all wines from the region are good. Every once and awhile however, you find a great example of one.

I came across Shaky Bridge 2006 Pioneer Series Pinot Noir. This wine is primarily comprised of fruit harvested from the Pioneer Vineyard on Dunstan Rd in New Zealand. The wine exhibits a rich dark ruby color, exotic aromas of spice together with primary fruit flavours of raspberry, rhubarb and blackcurrant. The wine possesses a wonderful intensity of flavor, characterized by rich fruit, ripe tannins and earth. The finish is long, even and smooth. This wine is great on its own or served with a variety of foods such as chicken, lamb, venison or salmon.

This wine’s characteristics scream New Zealand Pinot Noir. It’s a Decant Favorite and we recommend you give it a try.
