Escarpment Pinot Noir
- 750 ml bottle
Product details
At half the price of Escarpment's single vineyard wine, Kupe, this is stellar value for one of New Zealand's top Pinots. Still young, it needs time in decanter or glass, then opens into a pretty yet powerful wine. Red fruit, tree sap, tar and underlying minerality are wound in raspy tannins. There's length, elegance, intensity and regional character, plus an ability to age until 2028, at least. Ranked #10 in Wine Enthusiast's Top 100 Wines of 2022. Score - 95.
