Carrick Pinot Noir 2006
This Central Otago wines smells lush without even a hint of the sappy note that dominates others of its ilk. It's earthy without being dirty or even slightly barnyard-y and the fruit tends wild and dark. Rich is drinking it and enjoying it although he's telling me tales of a super-premium from Carrick (everyone in Central is doing it, doncha know) that was magnificent. A serious wine. A crowd pleaser. A serious crowd pleaser and a 4 glass wine.

Great! I have some of this in the cellar and glad to hear its still going strong.
Any idea on how the followup (2007) vintage is Sarah?
I haven't seen the 2007 vintage yet as this appears to be the current release. I believe that the 2007 is still in barrel. And the super-premium Carrick Pinot that Rich tried was an 06 also.
