Tasting Note

The full-bodied, rich 2019 Kupe Pinot Noir is a lovely example of how size doesn't have to mean a loss of elegance. Bold black cherry and plum flavors combine with nuances of cola spice and mocha to yield ample complexity, while the palate is plush and velvety, seamlessly extending through a lingering finish. While delicious now, I expect it will drink well for more than a decade.

Product Notes

Escarpment Kupe Pinot Noir is a stunning wine with a silky and smooth texture on the palate. The wine has a complex bouquet of ripe cherries, blackberries, and sweet spices that tantalize your senses and leave you wanting more. This wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes sourced from the Kupe vineyard, which is located on the Martinborough terrace in New Zealand. The grapes are hand harvested, fermented in stainless steel tanks, and then aged in French oak barrels for 11 months to add complexity and depth to the wine. This wine pairs perfectly with roasted meats, game, and rich, hearty pasta dishes.
