Burn Cottage





2018 Burn Cottage Moonlight Race Pinot Noir...$39.99
This has attractive aromas of fresh red cherries, wild herbs, roses and forest wood that lead to a palate that carries ripe, soft red plums, some crunchy pomegranate tang and mellow tannins. Drink now.
Rated 92/100 James Suckling
93 points | $45 | 350 cases imported 
Appealing for its density and delineated structure up front, yet notes of kirsch, raspberry and five-spice powder are generous and plush, with hints of cedar, gunpowder and dried lavender appearing on the long finish. Drink now through 2036. —M.W.
Rated 93/100 The Wine Spectator


2018 Burn Cottage Central Otago Pinot Noir...$61.99
This is a very attractive and gently complex pinot that sits in a red-cherry and red-plum zone, laced with spicy, gently herbal and floral elements, too. The palate has a very composed, fresh red-cherry center with spice and light peppery nuances. Plenty of bright acidity lifts the finish. So fresh. Drink or hold.
Rated 95/100 James Suckling
95 points | $65 | 500 cases imported 
Generous and pure, with maraschino cherry, raspberry puree and red licorice notes at the core on a plush, velvety frame, expanding into details of sandalwood, white truffle, rosemary and cardamom. Drink now through 2036. —M.W.
Rated 95/100 The Wine Spectator
