Vintage Widow Pinot Noir, Marlborough - 2006 - Jackson Estate
Ref: A125706
Medium ruby with good intensity and lighter rims. Pronounced red berry fruits such as raspberry and cherry are matched with a slightly spicy oak character. The nose continues to develop as the wine sits in the glass showing lifted pinot fruit and floral notes with hints of smoke and bacon adding further depth and interest. Medium bodied and dry in style, et with a lovely balance of fruit, acidity and tannin. Hints of toasty oak give a platform to wonderfully varietal fruit filling the front and mid-palate, lending the wine good texture and weight while fine, fruit tannins provide backbone and structure.

Jackson Estate are committed to the avoidance of cork taint in their products which are, consequently, bottled with Stelvin enclosures (screw-caps). CPW heartily approve!

Founded in the late eighties by John and Jo Stichbury, Jackson Estate is one of the few Marlborough winemakers to remain family-owned. The land was originally settled by Adam Jackson, John's great-grandfather, who purchased some 2000 acres of land that comprised most of Jackson's Road, now the sites for neighbouring vineyards such as Cloudy Bay, Allan Scott, and Stoneleigh.

The wines were well-received right from the beginning with quality being the focus, particularly with respect to the land and the vines. Jackson Estate became well-established in the UK and to this day remains a favourite among the influential UK wine media, with its flagship wine - Sauvignon Blanc.

Jackson Estate produces Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, and occasionally a botrytis wine when vineyard conditions allow.
