[TN] '10 Dog Point Pinot Noir

Tonight we went out for dinner at the Hotel D'Urville in Blenheim as we begin our journey back to the US. With a dinner of duck breasts, we had:

2010 Dog Point Pinot Noir (Marlborough) nose: initially, sappy with red fruit and a mineral note, later taking on notes of baking spices palate: medium bodied, good acidity

Although initially it seemed to be a bit oaky, that quickly blew off to leave a very attractive Pinot Noir. Painfully young at this point, the wine showed great promise for the future. The only concern was the 14% ABV, which showed only as a bit of heaviness.
