Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 27, 2016 - Normally enjoy my Ata Rangi from 6-8 years of age and they are a full blooded NZ Pinot much like their Rugby team that takes no quarter. I have the highest expectations for the '13 vintage and opened a half bottle due to the polarising CT reviews about tannin.

The winemaker states 30-40% whole bunch and expresses a desire to showcase 'tannin ripeness.'

I make no judgement on the wine at three years of age but note over 2 hours both beautiful aromas and delicious fruit were overpowered by tannin and would hope given time will integrate successfully.
