Escarpment Kupe Pinot Noir 2019

95 Points

Aromas of strawberries, black cherries, and some white pepper follows through to a full body with creamy texture and a dried orange aftertaste. A little tight at the finish, but shows energy and focus. Drinkable now but needs time to soften. Better after 2023. 

Available online here and at the Cellar Door

Escarpment Te Rehua Pinot Noir 2019 

94 Points

Dried-strawberry, citrus, cream and crushed stone aromas follow through to a full body with firm, chewy tannins that are tight and long. Reserved at the end. Pure fruit but shy. Drink after 2023.

Escarpment BLANC Pinot Blanc 2020 

92 Points

Pretty Pinot Blanc with aromas of flowers, apples and white peaches with some honeydew melon, following through to a full body with a creamy texture and a long, flavourful finish. Dry at the end and delicious. Drink now.
