Ata Rangi is one of my favorite Pinot from Martinborough, New Zealand. When I first tasted it, it changed my perception of Pinot and New Zealand wines.
2005 tastes of cherries, a little oak, soothing tannins and spices. Good acidity and structure which gives it a good finish. Not as powerful or as good as other Ata Rangis I have tasted before but still quite good.
Does the wine deliver on value? I does offer quite a unique experience, and is good from the opening of the wine. It improved over the night, so compared to Burgundies, it might seem like a reliable bet for the price.
