Ata Rangi Crimson Martinborough NZ Pinot Noir 2008

87/100 45

Perhaps it hasn’t got the concentration and complexity of Ata Rangi’s flagship Pinot Noir but it does have oodles of charm. Elegant, oaky wine with gentle dark cherry, plum and spice flavours. Deliciously drinkable and pleasantly affordable.

Tasted: Dec 2008   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $32 (~USD $27)
