($39, Old Bridge Cellars):  Kevin Judd, the founding winemaker at Cloudy Bay, the winery that put New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc on the world’s wine map, shows with this wine that he can also make distinctive Pinot Noir.  After 25 years at Cloudy Bay, Judd and his wife, Kimberly, established Greywacke in 2009.   For their 2010 Pinot Noir they purchased fruit from throughout the Marlborough area.  This mid-weight Pinot Noir combines bright pure fruit flavors with slightly funky earthy notes that add an exotic edge.  Zesty acidity enlivens it and keeps it balanced.  With time in the glass, the interplay between pure fruit and savory notes becomes even more intriguing.  This is a wine to savor over grilled salmon. 92 Michael Apstein Jul 31, 2012
