Kim Crawford is a consistant year in and year our producer of great value wines including Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. New Zealand is the base and posting a review for the 2007 Kim Crawford Pinot Noir is a pleasure. Tasting it is even better!
This is no light Pinot for starters with big aroma and flavors - oh and the price is under $20. Nuff said? :) Seriously - I'm done paying $50 for cult California Pinot (well mostly lol). Most do not surpass a wine like the Kim Crawford Pinot Noir and they can be twice the price. Now don't get me wrong - I LOVE a powerful Russian River Valley Pinot, but you would be VERY challenged to find a real strong one for $16 for instance.
The 2007 Kim Crawford Pinot Noir has great deep color. It looks like it will deliver great aromas and a full flavor and it does. Most wine reviews and tasting notes focus on the taste of the wine, and I agree - that should be the deciing factor but the "nose" on the wine really is great to mention when it stands out. Hey - the wine lasts longer that way! [take it all in]
The aroma and the palate both work here with delicious cherries, maple and well rounded fresh flavors deliver a great taste and very solid finish.
The 2007 Kim Crawford is a joy and a consistant bottle in our house. Oh - and twist cap too. Gotta love that since I am always losing or breaking my wine openers! :)
