TerraVin Marlborough Pinot Noir 2001
****
This intense, dark, fleshy full-bodied inaugural release highlights the power of low yielding vines. An early tasting of the 2002 revealed an even richer, softer, plummy wine next year. More reason for pinot lovers to hunt out the small quantites of this first release, set to become a collectors'item in the future. $44
