Ata Rangi McCrone Pinot Noir

Red wine

Ata Rangi, McCrone Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017

RRP TBC

Raspberry, honey, Martinborough fruit (a smoky cherry/savoury interplay – I often find myself using the world “autumnal” to describe Martinborough Pinot Noir aromas). This is chewy and mineral and slips through. It doesn’t have the tension of the 2015 but is well rounded and finishes “on point”.
