Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 17/20
Screwcap, much to our surprise! Tasting it blind, we’d thought it was the cork-sealed wine. More expressive and evolved. Modern idiom and fresh.Drink 2016 - 2023jancis_robinson_mw MW, JancisRobinson.com (March 2017)

James Suckling 94/100
A small make of just 4,200-odd bottles of this hand-crafted pinot. It shows excellent precision and detail, delicate fragrance, blue and red fruit aromas, hints of pepper and orange blossom, some pomegranate, and an attractive, vibrant fragrance. The palate has depth and some chewy texture bolstered by oak for now. Plenty of spice and good roundness. This will settle in time.Drink nowjames_suckling, jamessuckling_com (October 2014)

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2012 Syrah has a great core of plums and blackberry preserves with black pepper, dried herbs and licorice accents. Medium-bodied with remarkable texture - both velvety and grainy - it offers mouth-filling pepper laced flavors and a lively acid backbone, finishing long.Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 02/01/2015

About this wine

Martinborough

Martinborough

Close to the southern tip of North Island, some top-class, aromatic Pinot Noir is being made in the town of Martinborough, with the best rivalling good Burgundy. Just as Cloudy Bay launched a hundred wineries in Marlborough, so Dry River Wines and Ata Rangi provided the spark that lit up Martinborough. Economically the region is suited to Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Gewürztraminer.
