Ata Rangi Pinot Noir 2022 [Sam Kim The Real Review 98]

An amazingly fragrant nose of clove, cardamom and cinnamon lift from the glass which then further opens to more red notes of rosehip and grilled strawberry. More savoury notes of cranberry, lamb jus and orange peel spread through the palate. Full and smooth, the palate is velvety, balanced and buoyed by a fresh acidity that gives concentration and length. This is a satisfying and welcoming wine, open and playful now but with our usual thread of tannin and acid that makes these wines remarkable with age. - Winery
