Vynfields is a relatively new player from Martinborough that we haven't seen much of previously. The 13 acre was planted some 16 years ago and acquired by current owners Kaye McAulay and John Bell a number of years back.
2002 Pinot Noir (Recommended)
Lightish blood red, a touch murky. Great nose, lifted spicy sour fruits, quite powerful and intense. Faithful replay in the mouth, with more powerful spice and sour cherry. Good length and mouthfeel. Smacks of quality. QPR ok in the Martinborough context at mid $40's. A little similar to the 2002 Yabby Lake from Mornington.
2003 Pinot Noir
Much deeper dark red hue. Very closed nose - nothing doing. Again quite tight palate. Some sweet fruits are starting to poke through but very early days yet. Almost certainly will be a lighter weight wine than the 2002. Needs time and wouldn't be fair to pass opinion now.
