Greywacke Marlborough Pinot Noir 2023

$4299

Kevin Judd was the founding winemaker at Cloudy Bay for 25 years before starting Greywacke in 2009, named for the grey river stones in Marlborough's soils. Marlborough is far better known for Sauvignon Blanc, but Judd's Pinot Noir makes a quiet case for the region's reds. Hand-harvested and largely wild-fermented with a portion of whole bunches for perfume and spice, it's aged in French oak for a supple, savory style that leans elegant rather than heavy. From one of New Zealand's most seasoned hands, this is Pinot with real detail and freshness.

Antonio Galloni

90 points

"The savory 2023 Pinot Noir balances ripeness and tension, juxtaposing sunny, bright Marlborough fruit against nervy acidity. Well-handled tannins coat the mouth in a gentle, sinewy manner. A generous toasty oak influence lingers longer than the fruit, but some time in bottle will likely resolve this." —Rebecca Gibb MW
