Product Notes

Escarpment Kupe Pinot Noir is a sophisticated New Zealand wine originating from Martinborough's finest vineyards. Connoisseurs appreciate its pure expression of fruit, sublime texture and arresting depth. Steeped in dark berries, loamy soil and spice nuances, its balanced yet vibrant acidity is complemented by firm tannins, imparting a lasting finish. This Burgundy-style wine displays complexity and finesse, while its elegantly seductive palate unfolds with layers of black cherry, plum and lighter floral notes. Ripened to perfection, the Escarpment Kupe Pinot Noir encapsulates the terroir's rich character, making it a superb choice for discerning wine enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

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.
