Ata Rangi Martinborough NZ Pinot Noir 2003

93/100
Ata Rangi is New Zealand’s most distinguished Pinot Noir producer although its status is being challenged by one or two winemakers in Central Otago. This Martinborough winery is famous for making intense silken-textured wines that can be enjoyed young but age superbly. This big, chewy example is one of the finest Ata Rangi wines’s I have tasted. A rich and powerful wine, it has a great future (I’ve bought a case).
