Dog Point Pinot Noir 2021

The name Dog Point dates from the earliest European settlement of Marlborough and the introduction of sheep to the district. Shepherds' dogs sometimes became lost or wandered off and eventually bred into a marauding pack which attacked local flocks. Their home was a tussock and scrub covered hill, overlooking the Wairau Plains, designated by the early settlers as Dog Point.

A bit of toasty char, dried herbs, carob and coffee grounds, dried roses and dark cherry. Powerful, dark cherry, damp earthy coffee slightly bitter things, tight ripe sooty tannin, sappy acidity, and a firm, long and peppery finish. Intense, but good. No shortage of character. - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, 30 September, 2021, 94 Points
