2010 Craggy Range Te Muna Road Vineyard Martinborough New Zealand Pinot Noir
14.0% alc., $35,
screwcap. Imported by Kobrand Corp, NY, NY. Indigenous yeast fermentations, aged more than a year in
French oak barrels without racking.

Medium reddish-purple color in the glass. Slight reduction and oaky upon
opening, becoming very savory over time with aromas of bramble, herbs and wild, dark red berries. Fruits in
the redder spectrum are featured with a green, herbal tone. Moderately light in weight with supple tannins and
an acid-driven, juicy finish. Good.

2006 Craggy Range Te Muna Road Vineyard Martinborough Pinot Noir
14.0% alc., $45. Imported by the Kobrand Group, NY, NY.
·
The nose turned me
on and I wanted to dive in. Fragrant melange of red fruits, especially cherries,
with a sidecar of brown sugar, grass, earth and wet stones all of which carry
over to the juicy flavors. All silk and satin with impeccable balance, perfectly
integrated oak, and a notably persistent aromatic finish displaying cherries and
raspberries. This is pinotosity exemplified. All world. Tasted twice.

This is a particularly charming wine. The attractive nose features wild, crushed strawberries and cherries. Luscious black cherry fruit and sandalwood burst on the mid palate. The tannins are velvety, the texture is creamy, and the finish is clean and brisk.
