Score 17/20 · Drink 2021-2030, Tim Jackson MW, jancisrobinson.com, Feb 2019

Pale ruby-garnet. Broad, slightly reductive, spicy, earthy tones, with a touch of tobacco. Red-cherry fruit behind. Lots of spice-earth savoury character. Bright acidity, peppery, moderate tannins and great length and intensity. (TJ)

Ata Rangi's current release, the 2016 Pinot Noir, features hints of sage leaves and minty stemminess, beautifully balanced by plush fruit. It's medium to full-bodied, with silkier tannins than the muscular 2015, giving it a lush, welcoming texture and a smooth, seamless finish redolent of tea and roses.

This has all the cherry and spice and perfume that defines this consistently stunning pinot noir, as well as a sense of immense freshness. The palate has deceptive lightness and tannins that are supple and caressing and that kick fresh and expansive out through the finish. Succulent and elegant. A great vintage for this wine. Drink now. Screw cap.
