About wine:
The 2021 Pinot Noir is spicy and warm, with notes of nutmeg and star anise, pomegranate and cherry molasses, poached strawberry, and undergrowth. On the palate, the wine is light and delicate, but persistent on the finish, with a creamy quality imparted by the oak. These wines age extremely well, so their current lightness is not an indicator of a reduced drinking window, but rather something to embrace and celebrate as they evolve over time. 13.5% alcohol, sealed with a screw cap. 2024-2036

About wine:
Juicy nose of red currant and raspberry, with a hint of herbs. Reasonably tannic on the palate, with a slightly light body, which is no sin for a Pinot. A very smooth wine. 2024-2031
Vinous
Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100
About wine:
Dog Point's 2021 Pinot Noir is balanced, with savory and herbaceous notes. There is no denying that Marlborough's natural, sweet red fruits are abundant, but cool nights and increasingly sensitive winemaking techniques result in a deep and complex flavor. The wild, woody vegetal notes, particularly fennel, as well as a vibrant freshness, come from fermenting one-third of the grapes whole, but this does not result in harshness or tannic dryness. Over the years, a gradual reduction in the influence of oak (lighter toasting) has also brought greater harmony and cohesion. 2024-2031
