"Crimson is supposedly the wine to introduce you to its bigger cousin, the Ata Rangi estate Pinot. But perversely, you need all of the Pinot knowledge in the world to understand just how special Crimson is." MATTHEW JUKES, Decanter Magazine

The consistent 2008 season is responsible for the most delightful Crimson to date. It's beautifully perfumed on both the bouquet and palate, with roses, strawberries and raspberries. The palate is underlaid by very fine, firm tannins and a note of savoury complexity that builds all the way through its persistent finish. TYSON STELZER, Australia's WMB 100
