pinot noir
The 2016 is supple and lithe with gorgeous primary fruit characteristics. The nose is beguiling, with exotic aromas of both florals and spice - rose, sage, black pudding, sandalwood and licorice. There’s great weight on the palate and a concentration that builds as you spend more time with this wine. Harmonious and beautifully integrated, it’s delicious to drink now but will equally reward from cellaring.
93 Points, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2016 McCrone Vineyard Pinot Noir is leafy and savory, with dark cherry fruit in the background. It's medium to full-bodied, rich and tannic on the palate, with a long, velvety finish. Give this a year or two to come into its own, then drink it over the next decade.
96 Points, James Suckling
This has richness and a riper feel than the ‘regular’ Ata Rangi pinot bottling and offers red to dark cherries, delivered in a style that has plenty of structure and more muscular tannin texture. The palate has a sleek feel and a finely detailed and attractive, long draw on the spicy finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
