I know nothing about New Zealand. I love the people, as there were many Kiwi ex-pats living with us in Saudi Arabia during the early 1980's, and still have fond memories of them. The country itself I only know through the Lord of the Rings movies, which I enjoyed thoroughly. If this Boro Hills Pinot Noir is any indication I should learn more about New Zealand, than what Peter Jackson filmed. After all Mr. Jackson had his hobbits drinking beer instead of this great Pinot.

| Boro Hills Pinot Noir 2008 |
I am fond of Pinots though more fond of Shiraz and Merlot in general, however I am fully stocked on Shiraz and Merlot this month. Since I have been sampling wines from France, Spain and Argentina lately I thought that a New Zealand Pinot available at your local F&E would be a good change of pace.
Boro Hills Pinot Noir is a 2008 vintage with deep ripe fruit notes. The fruit flavors that shine through are warm and pleasant raspberry, cherry and plum. I enjoyed the level of oak feel to the wine and the smooth finish. I typically only buy California Pinot Noir but I will definitely pick this bottle up again.
