Craggy Range Pinot Noir Martinborough

The Pinot Noir is the winery's entry-level Pinot offering, culled out of its Te Muna Road site. It's 85% destemmed and aged in only 7% new oak, giving the fruit plenty of room to shine.

Black cherry and damp earth notes combine in a medium-bodied wine that shows modest complexity, silky tannins and a bright, tart finish. Available at retail for less than $25, it shows great varietal character and is a notable Pinot Noir value.
