Mount Riley Pinot Noir 2009 The Press, Wednesday, 1st September 2010, Graham Stringer The wine certainly does show a good concentration of ripe cherries and plums, with licorice and clove undertones. The nicely balanced finish is soft and sweet, with blackcurrant, cassis flavours and a decent, long tail. A well-made wine, it is worth a taste.
Medium-bodied Marlborough wine with a very nice texture, good fruit, young and fresh with no clutter. A flavoursome and easy drinking style under new winemaker Matthew Murphy with plenty of longevity. Will continue to unfold over the next two or three years at least.
Mount Riley Pinot Noir 2008 The palate is dry, round and elegant with supple tannins. The flavours are a wild mix of tobacco leaf, caraway, carrot top, cherry, orange peel and strawberry flavours with a touch of tea leaf. Fine finesse for only $25. Mount Riley Pinot Noir 2007 Wine NZ Magazine, Winter 2008 Vibrant, juicy strawberry nose. Some nice complexity of flavour, very ripe strawberry with notes of orange zest and toasty coconut oak. |
