Dry River
Craighall Vineyard Pinot Noir
Martinborough, Wairarapa, North Island, New Zealand
Delectable- this is the Craighall vineyard, not offered in your database. As I’ve noted previously in the standard Dry River Pinot Noir that, to my palate, this is quite full bodied and not a typical Pinot profile. The colour was dark crimson with brown tinges. Rich opulent fruit - black cherry and plum. Bob Campbell alluded to this saying perhaps lacking “in varietal identity “ but still gave it 98 points. After 10 years I feel it should have developed more complexity.
