About this Item
Winemaker Notes: Nautilus Marlborough Pinot Noir 2008 is dark ruby in color and shows an aroma of wild raspberries, plums and spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied with generous fruit sweetness and succulent tannins combining to give a long warm finish. The primary fruit components showing in the wines youth will further develop and integrate over the next five years as the wine matures.

Critics Ratings
‘Medium red. Spicy red and darker berries on the nose, plus a whiff of menthol. Nicely concentrated and lively on the palate, with a supple texture to the sweet red cherry, red berry and spice flavors. A solidly built pinot with a slightly clenched finish. Lacks only the grip and lift for an even higher rating.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (Sep 2009)
‘Polished and refined, brimming with raspberry, cherry and sassafras aromas and flavors, lingering easily on the bright finish. Drink now through 2013’ – Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator, 91/100
