Description
 
Complexity, texture and structure are the three main words in Escarpement’s vocabulary as their experienced team strive to produce the very best New World wines from high-quality grapes grown on alluvial gravel, terraced land along the bank of the Huangarua River. Escarpment’s vineyard director and winemaker Larry McKenna has firmly established himself as a leading winemaker and is particularly respected as one of New Zealand’s pre-eminent Pinot Noir winemakers. Referred to by various wine writers and authorities as the ‘Godfather of Pinot Noir’ Larry has built a solid reputation for understanding and gaining the best out of this typically stubborn and capricious grape.

Escarpment's blended 2015 Pinot Noir represents a solid introduction to the style of founder Larry McKenna. It's earthy and savory but with a deep core of black cherry fruit. It seems a bit gentler than previous vintages, but it's still medium to full-bodied, with ample structure to support a decade or more of development. Ripe plum, cola and chocolate notes emerge on the lengthy finish. Wine Advocate 92 (2015)
