Hugely impressive as always. The fruit on the nose is darker but there is a wonderful savoury/spicy note which also carries through on the palate. Tannins are fine, almost imperceptible but grip and length are created by the dark sour cherry spice that dominates the mid palate and balances the beautiful pure fruit. Silky texture and concentration. Super long and very fine. — 13 hours ago

An excellent Martinborough Pinot Noir. Rich and luscious like an Otago Pinot but not as overt as Otago usually is. Red and Black cherry with restrained whole bunch influence. Balanced French oak. Craggy Range is based in Hawkes Bay (the winery is a great spot for lunch!) but they were smart enough to establish their Te Muna vineyard in Martinborough - a much better terroir for Pinot Noir. Bob Campbell MW nailed the brief by saying it “delivers power with consummate subtlety. “ A point or two off for a ridiculously heavy bottle. — 9 months ago

Pale yellow color. Tropical fruit on the nose and palate. Long finish and high acidity — 9 days ago

Light bodied ruby colour 13% alc with good nose of berry flavours, great integrated tannins and good balance of fruit and acidity with quite a long lingering finish
We are fortunate that Australia is flanked by NZ and South Africa and all three have great Pinots that can stand tall with the wines of Burgundy at very affordable price points 🤗 — 3 months ago

Brief notes. Barb said sour cherry. My initial impressions - dried herbs, dried red cherry and black plum. Quite a big Pinot Noir. One could say a Shiraz drinkers Pinot, but it’s better than that and gives the wrong connotation. Have my next one in late 2025. As I have said in prior notes it lacks nuance. — 2 months ago

Floral nose, easy down the hatch. Reminded me of Charles Lachaux. Not so hidden gem… — 3 months ago

Opened up very nicely over an hour or so. Layered fruit but also a depth of flavor and a nice tannin and cigar leaf finish. Lots more punch than you’d expect for a Pinot. — 3 years ago
