"94 Points. It’s beautifully ripe and fragrant on the nose showing sweet cherry, plum, thyme and toasted nut characters, followed by a succulent palate that’s fleshy and beautifully flowing. It’s fabulously polished and harmonious, offering delectable fruit flavours with elegant spicy complexity."- Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, November 2019.

"94 Points. Ata Rangi’s Crimson Pinot Noir 2018 is an aromatic pinot noir with an appealing mix of cherry, plum, mint, dried herbs, and spicy, stemmy flavours. Supple, attractive wine that’s perhaps not as concentrated as its distinguished stablemate but represents excellent value at this price. A wine of character and class. (NZD $38)" - Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review.
