Wild Rock Pinot Noir Strugglers 08

From the team at Craggy Range comes this light burgundy coloured wine. It has a varietal nose showing pinosity, new upholstery and herbs. It is vibrant and fun on the palate with that all-important quality - drinkability. Beautiful notes of raspberry and white chocolate vie for dominance in a lingering finish. A lot of wine for the money.  July 10, AC

Wild Rock ‘Strugglers Flat’ Pinot Noir 2008 (17.0+/20), at 13.7% alc, fruit from Te Muna Road, 100% destemmed, 8 months in 50% French oak, 20% new barrels. A secondary label for Craggy Range. Pale ruby red in colour, this has a delicate and fragrant nose, attractively ethereal, with florals and cherries and tamarillo fruit. An elegant wine, with light cherry-herbal fruit, the palate had fine tannins that dried the palate on finish. Drink over 2-4 years.  Gold at the Liquorland IWC 2009.  RC July 10
