Burn Cottage "Moonlight Race" Central Otago Pinot Noir 2023

Wine Spectator : 95 Points

(10/31/2025) Elegant, plush and lush, with fresh flavors of black cherry, raspberry preserves and lingonberry jam. Herbal accents of dried thyme, sage and matcha, along with whiffs of white pepper and crushed pine needle, linger on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2038. 2,500 cases made, 450 cases imported.

James Suckling : 96 Points

(11/16/2024) Bright and lifted aromas of strawberries, wild raspberries, citrus peel and cherries on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy tannins giving notes of blackberries, mocha, lead pencil and wet bark. Refined and pure with 5% whole-cluster. Drink or hold.
