2019 Ata Rangi Pinot Noir

Wine from great people from great places, ey? Been a while since a visit there, though?

A fuller expression, chewy and malty, dark cherry led with some salted plum characters and clove-cinnamon spice in tow. Feels quite grippy, grunty in a way, but flows nicely, dense and dark, finishes long and with a swish of that dark cherry through undergrowth earthiness. Powerful, potent expression, with balance.
