From Martinborough Vineyard's Burnt Spur Vineyard located just south of the Martinborough township, the 2010 Burnt Spur Pinot Noir has a ruby-purple color and notes of red plums, mulberries and warm raspberries over allspice and white pepper. Medium full bodied with very crisp acid, it has a low level of soft tannins and plenty of juicy berry flavors, finishing long. Drinking now, it should keep to 2015. Importer: The Sorting Table, Napa, CA

Pale to medium ruby colored, 2009 Burnt Spur Pinot Noir gives subtle cranberry, underbrush and dried herb aromas. Crisp, medium bodied with a medium level of grainy tannins, there’s a good concentration of flavors with a medium-long, somewhat simple finish. Drink it now through 2013.

This shone out in a blind horizontal of Martinborough Pinot Noirs. An absorbing, slightly animally nose with cherry, damson and loganberry, developing a savoury scent with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, silky ripe tannins, crisp red-berried fruit. Just a lovely texture with great tension and poise. Good length. Feminine and absolutely beguiling. Outstanding. Drink now-2014. Tasted January 2008.

Vegetal hints on nose. Ditto on palate. Layered, vegetal fruit and some tannins, quite silky on edges.
