2009 Te Muna Pinot Noir
The pursuit of Pinot perfection took us far from our California home base to the remote reaches of the South Pacific and the stunningly beautiful island nation of New Zealand. We discovered a small and exceptional property along Te Muna Road, an especially remarkable terrace in the celebrated Pinot Noir village of Martinborough. Appropriately, Te Muna is Maori for ‘special’ or ‘secret place,’ and this inaugural Pinot Noir is the proudly bottled culmination of our lofty endeavor.
Showcasing true Burgundian character, the 2009 Cobblestone Te Muna Pinot Noir delivers outstanding elegance, balance and complexity.

Medium ruby color. Forest floor, wet stone and hints of red fruit in the nose. The palate delivers wild cherry and flavors of strawberry-rhubarb pie, followed by an exceedingly long and dry finish.
