"Fragrant, dense wine with cassis, blackcurrant, dark chocolate and nutty oak flavours. Impressive, attention-grabbing wine that envelops the senses. Clearly from a favourable vintage and with obvious cellaring potential." - Bob Campbell, Real Review
"Very minerally, firm and structured. Indeed, despite the dark berry, cherry, mocha and fennel characters, this really is more about crushed rock, slate and granitic mineral characters in abundance. A firm skeleton first, tannins in a tight, silty web, the wine feels draped in its fruit and spice character hanging on those bones. Lovely in that way and one for the future more than now. Impressive." - Mike Bennie, Wine Front
"Concentrated and elegant with red and dark fruit, spectacular baking spices combined with smoky oak and the signature integrated tannin structure, this seamless wine with its velvety texture will leave you wanting more.
The foundation of this wine is our focus on delivering low-yielding concentrated fruit that expresses our vineyard. In the winery, we employ traditional old world techniques; the grapes are handled gently and the wines are fermented using only the indigenous yeast from the vineyard.
The wines are aged in barrel for 15-18 months before being bottled unfiltered, and are cellared before release. Since the first release in 2005, the Prophet’s Rock Pinot Noir has consistently been one of the best-reviewed Pinot Noirs in New Zealand.
Cellaring will reward collectors over the next 10+ years from vintage." - Prophet's Rock
