WTN: 2006 Spy Valley Pinot Noir, Marlborough, NZ

Next wine in my quest to cover the New Zeeland Pinot noir wines that are available here in Sweden. Lucky for me, the selection is not too bad, so I still have some way to go. Tonight's wine, to a dinner of duck breasts with porcini risotto and Brussel sprouts I opened:
2006 Spy Valley Pinot Noir, Marlborough

A rather typical colour for a your Pinot. red/purplish and medium deep.
Charming nose with a lot of pure Pinot fruit (aka pinosity). Also some toasted notes from new wood, but not overly much. A light animal touch in the background.
Fresh and juicy on the palate. Refreshing and charming and with a good intensity. Moderate tannins and a fruity and peppery finish. A really charming wine. Not great nor with a lot of complexity, but for SEK 189 (EUR 16.20, USD 20.50) I'd say it is quite a good deal. Pleasantly moderate alcohol too, only 13. 5% abv.

I hope you are having a nice Saturday/Sunday

Thanks for the note, that sounds very likeable. I also appreciate the technical information disclosed on the back of the label - wish everyone would do that - while objecting to producers enclosing their totally biased and untrustworthy tasting notes - wish every producer would stop doing that.

Thanks, Oswaldo. Regarding the information on the back label - could someone explain to me what a "slightly visceral bouquet" means?
