Wine Spectator Review: Bright and jazzy up front, with plum and red currant flavors on a lively frame, pointing straight through the long, generous finish, which ends with welcome toast and warmth. Needs time to settle into itself. Best from 2010 through 2014. 160 cases made. Parker Review: The 2007 Te Muna Road Vineyard Pinot Noir has also come on leaps and bounds since last year. It has a deep, rich plum-scented nose with touches of orange zest and apricot both side of stage. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, grainy tannins, good acidity with a more masculine, tannic vintage than the entry suggests. Good weight, quite backward with a rounded, quite silky finish. It just lacks a little persistency and verve of the 2006. Tanzer Review: Good full red. Complex nose melds dark cherry, underbrush, brown spices, licorice and flowers. Densely packed but rather light on its feet, with a sappy quality to its flavors of spicy red berries, cherry, minerals, smoke and rooty underbrush. Finishes with a broad dusting of tannins and good subtle building length. In a less fruity style than this producer's pinots from Central Otago. Note that this wine and the Bannockburn Sluicings were markedly better than samples I reported on in Issue 140-hence the new tasting notes. Other Notes: From Craggys own Pinot Noir vineyard, this medium-bodied, creamy-textured effort boasts bright, vibrant aromas of cherries and vanilla. It comes across as soft and easy but not unstructured, with plenty of persistence and elegance. Drink now2012. Wine Enthusiast | ||||
