*CRAGGY RANGE PINOT NOIR CALVERT 08*

Craggy Range Pinot Noir Calvert 08

$47.90 750 MLS
Craggy Range ‘Calvert’ Central Otago Pinot Noir 2008 (18.0+/20) is 14.2% alc with 15% whole bunch fermented by indigenous yeasts then aged 10 months in 33% new French barriques. It was medium deep ruby red with lighter edge of purple hues. Fresh on nose with a juicily ripe nose of dark plums and fruits, this was a plump, lush wine with full, rounded plum flavours. Supple and lowish in acidity, this was delicious.  RC Feb 10

Craggy Range ‘Calvert’ Pinot Noir 2008 (18.5/20), at 14.2% alc, 15% whole bunch and 10 months in 33% new French barriques. Dark, deep, purple ruby-red colour. Solid, full, broad, with dense dark plum aromas, very concentrated on bouquet. Again, dense and solid in expression on palate, full tannins, but open and attractively accessible. Black fruits with smoke and spice notes. What it may lack in elegance, it more than makes up for with its richness and breadth. RC/SD Oct 09
