The red wine Nautilus Southern Valleys Pinot Noir, vintage 2017 from the winery Nautilus Estate has been rated in 2022 by Anne Krebiehl with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Pinot Noir from the region Marlborough in New Zealand.
A most subtle nose of tart, red but ripe cherry with a most lovely notion of autumnal oak leaf and delicious earthiness – clearly this has had some bottle age. This shows how the essential Pinot-ness shines through once the primary fruit holds back. The mid-palate brims with pristine, bight cherry and vivid freshness, fine tannins still have a firm crunch. The finish is pure, fresh, lasting and touching.
