Saint Clair Pinot Noir 2007

Wine Advocate, #176 (Apr 2008)
Rating: 88 points
"The 2007 Marlborough Pinot Noir has a dense, brooding nose that is more herbaceous in style with hints of mulberry in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with good depth, high extraction but no signs of astringency. Firm, dense, tannic with a plum-infused, slightly herbaceous finish, it is marred by being a tad too dry on the finish, but otherwise a pleasurable Pinot Noir to drink over 2-3 years. This has been one of Marlborough’s key producers since the late 1970’s. Currently owned by Neil and Judy Ibbotson, with Matt Thomas chief-winemaker, they produce a wide range of wines including a bewildering array of single vineyard wines designed to illustrate the nuances in terroir. If that is their aim then good for them, although from a consumers point-of-view, I must confess that the proliferation of similarly named releases can get very confusing and perhaps a little amalgamation of parcels might render a more streamlined array of equally interesting wines."
