The 2023 Te Muna Road Vineyard Pinot Noir is powerful but framed within an ethereal structure of ductile tannin. The fruit is eminently red, and the wine feels elegantly integrated at all levels. It's a lovely expression of Martinborough, and it manages restraint and measure at every opportunity. The acidity is fine and saline, the balance is there and the oak merely supports. There is a savory herbal nuance through the finish, but it all works. Recommended. 12.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

I have always in general preferred the Pinot Noirs of Martinborough on the North Island to those from the other side of Cook Strait – they seem to have more gravitas. This one is smooth and creamy with the flavor of ripe Bing cherries, even brandied cherries, and is long on the palate with some savory notes, mild tannins and good acidity.

Fresh raspberry puree, tart cherry and lingonberry flavors are precise and focused, with pretty accents of clove, oolong tea, crushed pine needles and dried sage on a muscular frame. The finish shows supple tannins alongside violet and rose petal notes.
