Dog Point Vineyard is situated in the Wairau Valley, the major grape growing region of New Zealand. It combines the considerable wine growing experience of Ivan and Margaret Sutherland and James and Wendy Healy, formerly of the famous Cloudy Bay winery. The philosophy of Dog Point Wines is total involvement by the partners from the vineyard through the wine making process to marketing regionally distinctive and vineyard expressive wines.
This 2020 Dog Point Pinot Noir is another benchmark Marlborough Pinot Noir offering up some superb red fruit and delicate floral aromas. The palate is impressively concentrated with pure red berry notes, spice, subtle tannin and impeccable balance.
"96 Points. Tantalisingly aromatic wine with a strong floral/red rose/violet influence. More fruit-focused on the palate with juicy plum, cassis and blackcurrant flavours. Deliciously drinkable wine with cellaring potential. Very seductive."- Bob Campbell, The Real Review, 29 September, 2022.
"95 Points This latest release seems less oaky than previous vintages which allows the beautifully precise notes of raspberry, red plum and lavender to come to the fore. Carefully judged ripe tannins provide support."- Wine Enthusiast Magazine, Oct/Nov, 2022.
