Loop Road Pinot Noir 2022

A lovely, expressive nose of brambly berries, plum, warm stones and subtle herbs and florals open this instantly appealing wine from one of Otago’s top producers. The palate is light on its feet with succulent fruit and a line of fine, savory tannins that creeps up toward the finish. Elegant, long and still youthful, this could be drunk until around 2030. Editors’ Choice. Score – 94. (Christina Pickard, Wine Enthusiast, April 1, 2024)
