The Crater Rim Waipara Pinot Noir 2020

Sweetly ripe and elegantly perfumed, showing dark plum, strawberry, fragrant spice and roasted nut aromas with a hint of earthy mushroom complexity. It’s supple and beautifully rounded on the palate displaying flowing texture and silky tannins, offering gorgeous drinking. At its best: now to 2026. Score – 93. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, July 2021)
