Du même producteur

"Complexe, concentré et intrigant, avec des arômes de mûre de prune charnues ainsi que des notes de noyer noir, de bois de santal, d’aiguilles de pin séchées, de poivre noir et de thé Darjeeling musqué. Les tanins sont feutrés et raffinés et la finale est épique. A boire dès maintenant jusqu'en 2030." - 95 pts Wine Spectator - TOP 100 2015

James Suckling (JS) : 96 Points (2020)

Intensely spicy and perfumed with concentrated notes of purple plums, cherry stones, rosemary, neroli, cloves, cigar box and ground coffee. The tannins are firm and tightly-knit, providing a solid frame to the dark fruit. Sensual and distinctive.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 95 Points (2020)

A stunning wine, opening up with fleshy black cherry, pomegranate and blood orange flavors that show perfumed details of green cardamom seed and dried violet. The tannins are dense, but also thick and velvety, giving plenty of traction to the long, expressive finish, where notes of malty Assam black tea and forest floor linger.

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 95 Points (2017)

Winemaker Larry McKenna's Pinots all possess a signature style, while also being incredibly terroir-expressive. The Kupe is a gorgeous example of this, rippling with waves of raspberry, strawberry and black-cherry fruit, white-pepper spice, crushed rose petals and warm tarmac. The palate is poised and balanced with slinky red fruit, streaks of minerality and fine, granular, powerful tannins. Some French oak shows but should integrate with time. Drink through 2029.

Bob Campbell MW (BC) : 95 Points (2017)

A cool vintage has produced a lower alcohol in Escarpment's flagship pinot noir, although the plum, berry and spice flavours are perfectly ripe. An elegant and seductive wine with serious cellaring potential. (BC) (4/2019)

Robert Parker (RP) : 93 Points (2017)

Made from own-rooted Abel Clone fruit grown near the winery off Te Muna Road, the 2017 Kupe Pinot Noir boasts the lowest alcohol level (12.5%) I recall seeing on an Escarpment Pinot Noir. It's done a great job integrating the 70% whole-bunch fermentation, leaving behind spicy, black cherry-laced aromas and flavors. Despite the modest alcohol, it's full-bodied, plush and rich, with a long finish and complex herb and spice shadings.
