coming out of the country, buy it with caution. Quality is still spotty. 894.If youre looking to see what New Zealand can do with Pinot Noir, pick up a bottle of Mount Rileys version from 2004. This wine is fairly Burgundian in style, with restrained aromas of caramelized meat drippings and raspberry on the nose, leading to plum, spice, and ripe raspberry on the palate. 244 1000 BEST WINE SECRETS 895.Felton Road produces a very good Pinot Noir and the 2004 is an exciting mix of smoldering dark fruit, earthy spices, and ripe plum and cherry. 896.If choosing between Oregon and New Zealand Pinot Noirthe two New World leaders in that variety right nowchoose Oregon. 897.Villa Maria, Mud House Wines, Sacred Hill, and Trinity Hill are all reliable New Zealand producers. 898.New Zealand is making some very interesting sweet wines. A favorite of mine is the Winemakers Collection Late Harvest 2001 Riesling by Seifried. Its a sumptuous mix of vanilla, cherries, lime, honey, and marmalade. 899.Milton Winery is a biodynamic producer. 900.Best recent vintages include 2000, 2001, and 2003.
