[SOLD-OUT] Craggy Range Aroha Pinot Noir 2021

 

"Fragrant, floral pinot noir with cassis, dark cherry, red rose, cacao nib the dominant flavours right now, with many other more subtle characters in support. I love the enlivening acid and tannic structure which gives the wine an exciting energy. Although it can certainly be appreciated now the wine promises to develop even greater complexity with bottle age." - Bob Campbell

 

"A glorious bouquet of powerful dark-cherry fruit, the palate likewise deep and well-structured with abundant powdery, drying tannins leading into a long-lasting finish. Any whole-bunch influence is very discreet. The cherry fruit speaks the loudest. This will richly reward cellaring." - Huon Hooke

 

"Well, this seems to be in the zone. A flighty, flirty, pretty pinot noir with elegance as its by word and finesse writ large. Silky tannins, yes, a sluice of sour, dark cherry juice, fine, smoky, twiggy seasoning under it all and a lick of clove and anise doing a good job of seasoning. It feels so even, controlled, elegant, svelte. Superlatives for the marriage of fruit and winemaking and an overall gulpability in tow. Very good pinot, very nice feel, very lovely overall. Appealing to the max." - Mike Bennie, Wine Front

 

"A complete wine with a delicious core of ripe red berry fruits and dark plums, vanilla-spice and whisper of dried herb. There’s a youthful pause on the palate then the fruits begin to layer in softening the palate adding length. This wine does not lack power, Will age gracefully." - Cameron Douglas MS
