Critic reviews
"The 2021 Pinot Noir is spicy and warming, with nutmeg and star anise, pomegranate molasses and cherry, poached strawberry and forest floor. In the mouth, the wine is lacy and light but persistent through the finish, with a creamy cushioning from the oak. These wines age tremendously well, so its levity now is not an indicator of a shortened drinking window; rather, it is something to accept and celebrate during its evolution over time. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap."

"The 2021 Pinot Noir from Dog Point is poised with a savory and herbal flourish. There's no denying that the Marlborough natural red, sweet fruit is abundant, but cool nights and increasingly sensitive winemaking allow depth of flavor and layering. Wild green, woody herbs, including fennel and a bright line of freshness, come from one-third whole bunch fermentation, but that does not bring any furriness nor tannic dryness. Over the years, a gradual reduction in oak influence (lightening of toast) has also brought greater harmony and togetherness."

"Strawberries, cranberries and lavender with orange zest, sweet squash and a hint of tomato leaf. Medium-bodied with refreshing acidity and velvety tannins. Zesty and flavorsome on the palate. Good harmony. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
