- Subtle spice
- Fine-grained tannins
"It’s sweetly fruited and fragrant on the nose showing dark cherry, raspberry, olive, hazelnut and floral aromas, leading to a succulent palate that’s beautifully rounded and supple. The wine offers delectable fruit flavours and savoury nuances within an elegant frame of silky tannins, making it delightfully drinkable. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2020
"Youthful and bright appearance with red and ruby core consistent to the rim where it shows a hue of purple. On the nose – varietal with a mild savoury and red fruited bouquet, dark cherry and dried raspberry, violet then a touch of plum, aromas of wood spices with a soft vanilla clove mix then mild toasty barrel notes. Overall moderate complexity with youthful appeal. On the palate – flavours reflect the nose with berry fruit, a definitive savoury whole-bunch core then baking spices and some toasty wood moments. Firm-ish chalky tannins and medium+ acidity along with fruit flavours highlight a satin texture adding length to a dry finish. Balanced and well made. Ready to enjoy upon purchase and through 2023" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
This elegant wine is deep purple with purple hues. Lifted aromas of black and red berries with violets, and spice together with a hint of oak char are present on the nose. The palate is inviting with lovely sweet black and red cherry entry along with black plum and spice with hints of tobacco and mushroom. A complex and concentrated wine with very silky smooth fine-grained tannins. The finish is long and generous with excellent minerality.

Delicious Central Otago Pinot and amazing price. We’ve enjoyed Archangel over the years and this is another excellent example of the wines they’ve made. A shame the winery has been sold.

I'm familiar with previous vintages of Archangel Pinot Noir and find this vintage disappointing. I can't see why the reviewers gave it 90 plus scores. At best, being generous I could only get to 82.5 which is high Bronze.

A really lovely drop. It's a full bodied Pinot Noir and really good value for money.

A very luscious mouthful which has a little less initial tannin bite than a lot of the other good central otago pinots. Very mellow and drinkable.
