"For half the price of Kupe, Escarpment's single vineyard wine, this is excellent value for one of New Zealand's finest Pinot Noirs. Still young, it needs a little time in a decanter or glass, then opens up to a wine that is both pretty and powerful. Red fruits, tree sap, tar and underlying minerality are wrapped in racy tannins. Length, elegance, intensity and regional character are there, along with the ability to age until at least 2028." (Wine Enthusiast 2022). Screw cap

About the wine:
Deep notes of black cherry, plum and cola appear on the nose of the 2019 Escarpment Pinot Noir, a blend from several different sites around the village of Martinborough. Medium- to full-bodied, rich and velvety, with a layered, richly textured finish, this is a solid wine that should drink well over the next decade.
