    What We Say

    Absolutely sensational, and we mean SENSATIONAL, Pinot Noir.  This is right up there with the very best Pinots from NZ including the Mount Difficulty's, Pegasus Bays, Felton Roads etc. etc. and it puts the numerous Pinots we've tried from Burgundy at this price firmly in the shade. Dare we say it?... this is the finest red wine on our wine list.

    What the press say:

    ARCHANGEL PINOT NOIR (91/100) Slightly more mineral, smoky character here, a little bit of charry quality, and the fruit still there. More edgy than the 2008 perhaps, hinting at more structure and complexity, though without the seductive creaminess at this stage – though the ripe fruit is all there and suggests this will age nicely. Tom Cannavan – www.wine-pages.com
