2021 Greystone Pinot Noir 12 Pack

95 POINTS

Dave Brookes - Halliday Wine Companion

A spicy, gamey-edged North Canterbury pinot noir; 10% whole cluster, 17 months in French oak, 40% new. Bright red and dark cherry, flecked with raspberry and subtle red apple skin with hints of dried herbs, spice, Peking duck, leaf litter, meadow blossom and earth. I love the earthen, gamey nuance in the background in this wine. Fruit on point, crushed rock tannins toothsome and fine and a sweep of sour cherry and fine, sapid acidity on the back end.

Rebecca Gibb MW - Vinous

The 2021 Pinot Noir is one for the long haul. Grown on a rare combination of clay over limestone, this is savory, scented, spiced and sappy with lots of density and firm acidity. There's fruit here, but it's not about fruit, nor is it about the oak (despite 40% of the barrels being new). This is supple, rich and almost like a meal in itself.

James Suckling

A vivid and delicious red, showing cherries, dried herbs and warm spices. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Velvety texture and a fresh, crunchy finish. From organically grown grapes.

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2021 Pinot Noir is gamey and evolved, with a palate laden with drying tannins and dusty fruit. Perhaps this is beyond its best years, or perhaps it will continue along on this evolutionary path unperturbed by any further impacts of time. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
