In a first from Kevin Grant
since leaving Hamilton-Russell and starting Ataraxia, the hotly
anticipated inaugural Ataraxia Pinot Noir 2014 is now on release for
sale.
When we
first tasted this wine late last year on a rare visit from Kevin to the
office, the room went silent, and chins grazed the floor. We were all
blown away by what was in our glasses.
"The
wine has an intriguing luminous hue that reflects rather than absorbs
light. The svelte nose offers up a fine blend of red cherries,
pomegranate, delicate forest floor and a hint of spice and new oak. On
the palate the wine is sensual and embracing, with a captivating mid -
palate depth, lovely transparency and excellent focus on a suavely
tannic finish."
