This is an outstanding deal on a beautifully aged Martinborough Pinot Noir from the exceptional 2020 vintage—a year that delivered structure, depth, and incredible aging potential. Crafted by winemaker Strat Canning, this wine benefits from meticulous barrel aging, spending 12 months in new and recent-vintage barriques, followed by another year in older oak, softening the tannins and enhancing complexity.
Bob Campbell (MW) rates it highly, describing it as: "Bright, fresh, high-energy Pinot Noir with raspberry, cherry, red-fleshed plum, dried herb, and cedar flavours with oyster shell characters. A great food wine that offers outstanding value at this price."
Tasting Notes
From the first glance, this wine captivates with a vibrant edge and warm, glowing core. Aromas of bracken fern, toasted nori, roasted beetroot, and truffle rise from the glass, followed by deep fruit notes of poached plum, tay berries, and dark chocolate gateaux with coffee buttercream. Hints of beef consommé, violets, and spicy tomato add further intrigue.
The palate is layered and complex, unfolding with oven-baked wild oats, dark sticky prunes, and sun-dried beef jerky, alongside refined tannins that balance richness with freshness. Subtle notes of marmite on sourdough, roasted aubergine, rubbed oregano, and caramel brûlée complete the picture—a deeply satisfying and beautifully aged Pinot Noir.
