Nautilus Estate Southern Valleys Pinot Noir 2017

92pts - Rebecca Gibbs MW - Vinous

"The 2017 Pinot Noir is drinking beautifully now with its fairly complex, brooding style and core of concentrated fruit. It's fresh with fine, polished tannins that coat the mouth. You can expect cherry, plum, licorice, subtle vanilla notes and Christmas spices. While this is entering a lovely window of early maturation, it will drink well up to its 10th birthday and perhaps beyond."

91pts - Joe Czerwinski - Wine Advocate

"To its considerable credit, the 2017 Southern Valleys Pinot Noir avoids the tutti-frutti excesses of many Marlborough Pinot Noirs, offering earthy notes, black cherries and a dusting of cinnamon and clove. It's medium to full-bodied, with ample concentration, softly dusty tannins and a lingering finish."
