Dog Point Pinot Noir 2021
Reviews
Bob Campbell, MW (The Real Review): 96/100. Intense, appealing pinot noir with subtle floral aromas together with concentrated red berry, dark chocolate, liquorice, woodsmoke and spicy oak flavours. Powerful wine with obvious cellaring potential.
Cameron Douglas MS: 94/100. Ripe, fruity, varietal and complex bouquet with aromas of red cherry and raspberry flesh, some red licorice and vanilla, layers of wood smoke and plum then a clay stone mineral quality. These ideas repeat and come alive on the palate with youthful polished tannins and acidity for contrast. Dry and delicious with salivating textures and flavours, fresh red fruits and barrel spice highlights and a lengthy finish with complexity and charm. Best drinking from 2023 through 2030.
Tasting Note
A bright perfumed, supple expression of Marlborough pinot noir from clay hill slopes. The fruit is supported by bright florals of rose and violets with crunchy red berry fruit and dried herb notes. The palate is succulent with alluring red cherry, brown spices and silky fine boned tannins. This wine has all the makings of a long lived Marlborough pinot noir.
