Pinot Noir

 16.5+ /20 Points, Raymond Chan

Dark, deep, youthful, black hued, ruby-red colour, this has a deep, black berry and plum fruited bouquet that is fresh and vibrantly expressed. On the palate, medium-light bodied with 14.0% alc, this has lush, vibrant black berry fruit and dark plum flavours, pure and uncomplicated. The tannin extraction is moderate and provides a soft, supple and smooth texture allowing immediate enjoyment. Air time reveals tobacco, dried herb and smoky nuances.

Ruby-hues on the eye, it's savoury and earthy with little hints of aniseed, Indonesian spices (sandal and cinnamon), bittersweet red fruit and silky tannins, a Diva in disguise. Not a big wine but suave, elegant and savoury.

Our third vintage of Barren Rock Pinot Noir. This wine is our best yet. The wine is of a quality that could make women blush and men weep. Superb.

Four Stars "Smooth and elegant and a bargain for a wine from this neck of the woods." Warren Barton

This is sensational Wairarapa Pinot Noir for less than $20 a bottle. You will not be disappointed with this wine!

4 Stars (88 points) – Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, December 2010

This is a full bodied and smooth Pinot Noir showing intense cherry, plum and savoury aromas. It is a concentrated, deeply coloured wine with well integrated French oak, lovely mouthfilling tannins and a long lingering finish.

An elegant, supple Pinot Noir displaying dark cherry and berry fruit aromas, combined with forest floor complexity. It's a fresh, vibrant wine exhibiting well integrated ripe tannins, a smooth palate and has a wonderful persistence of flavour.

The wines are superb and the total production from this premium Martinborough producer is no more than 1500 cases. The Dusty Rd Pinot Noir is a well balanced and supremely accessible Martinborough Pinot Noir with all the characters and qualities expected from a top Martinborough winery.

This Pinot Noir exhibits intense fruit flavours, combined with elegant refinement and concentration. Seductive aromas of red cherries and plums give way to a palate of savoury flavours and subtle spices, broadening out to fine silky tannins for a long, lingering finish.

Absolutely premium Marlborough Pinot Noir from a top class New Zealand winery.
