2006 Ata Rangi Pinot Noir

Still my favorite Pinot Noir from New Zealand!! Chocolate, so much red fruit, orange peel, floral, bursting with fruit yet with good balance. A bit young, bit still really really enjoyable. If only the price was not so high. Again, an excellent and improving effort from Ata Rangi.

Still don't understand how they can make such powerful pinot from Martinborough!?

Derek - I bought 3 bottles of 2007@nzd65 at auckland airport. given the weak nzd, its pretty good deal. looking forward to tasting them in a few years time.

cheers
