Ata Rangi Pinot Noir 2021, Martinborough
Pristine, fresh, vibrant and youthful, aromas of Doris plums and dark cherry flesh, layers of red clay soil scents and a touch of iron add complexity and depth. The use of oak is judicious and well placed offering some spice and gentle smoky qualities. On the palate, taut textures from tannins and acid backbone deliver a firm palate squeeze, them as the wine begins to open out in glass, the flavours of red fruits and bramble, soft brown baking spices and lees complexities begin to unfold. A wine of energy and power, velvet tannins and saline lick on the finish. A wine for the cellar with best drinking likely from 2027 through 2037+.
