2010 Ata Rangi Martinborough Pinot Noir
2010 Ata Rangi Martinborough Pinot Noir
|
|
"One of the greatest of all New Zealand wines .The grapes are drawn from numerous sites, including the estate vineyard, planted in 1980, and the vines, ranging up to 29 years old." A staggering 96/100 from Bob Campbell ( one of his top ever pinot noir scores ) and he writes "When Ata Rangi was recognised by its peers as being the first equal producer of Pinot Noir in this country I thought the honour well deserved. As an early pioneer of top Pinot Noir this small family company has never rested on its laurels but has worked hard to build an even better wine every year. This is one of Ata Rangi's best ever wines. The star feature is a silken, mouth-filling and totally seductive texture although the complex layering of fruit and savoury flavours is nearly as appealing. I find it hard to imagine how they can improve on this wine ... but they will."
( The 2009 was voted NZ's Top NZ Pinot in the Good Australian Wine Guide ) A must for all lovers of the finest NZ Pinot Noirs.
