92+ Points. "The 2006 Aroha Pinot Noir is a field selection from the Te Muna vineyard in Martinborough, hand-picked, de-stemmed and fermented with indigenous yeasts and five daily punchdowns before being matured in French oak of which 35% is new. The nose is unassuming at first: it takes a while before its complexity becomes apparent with black cherries, rose petals and even a touch of tar. The palate is medium-bodied and very well-balanced with a grainy second half with touches of black pepper and once again, tar. Introspective and cerebral, this could merit a higher score in a couple of years time. Wine Advocate Issue #176, Apr 2008. This wine was shown from barrel at the New Zealand Pinot Noir Symposium in February 2007 and was by far the best wine of the hundreds on show. This is as good as Martinborough and Te Muna gets.

Rating 90, 4 stars. “A dense and quite complex wine in a lean Burgundian style. Red cherry, plum, briar and reasonably strong oak. Fairly austere at this stage, though wines from this hillside vineyard have a proven record of ageing very well. Good drinking now or in the next 6 years”. Gourmet Traveller Wine, Bob Campbell MW
