2007 Ata Rangi Pinot Noir.  These brief impressions sent by text message from Kate who is relaxing around Martinborough today. 

A sneak preview of the 2007 Ata Rangi Pinot Noir on the day of release.  Another stellar effort from New Zealand’s premier label.  Gorgeous depth of colour.  I was captivated by the balanced fruit and earth notes. A crowd pleaser for sure.  The 2006 was fab but this edges slightly in front. 99+/109
