Reviews and Ratings

Wineboy rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A classic NZ PN. By this I mean lots of juicy cherry goodness (almost Beaujolais-like) plus a hint of leather so we don't forget it's PN. Great buy.

Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Slightly riper and fruitier than most Burgundian and cool climate Pinot Noirs, but maintains elements of cool climate/old world character. Plenty of cherry, more red cherry than sour cherry. More beet and earth than oak and spice. More body than most (13.5% ABV), and a little less acid than average. A charming expression placed between the styles of Burgundy and California. Gourmet homemade pizza, grilled small game birds, or lentil curry would make fantastic pairings.

Momo 2016 is a juicy, smooth, medium-bodied New Zealand Pinot Noir from Marlborough, South Island. Lovely balance of savoury herbs, ripe red cherry, sweet spice and bright acidity on the palate. The vineyard is bio-grow certified and Momo is made using organic and biodynamic winemaking practices. Momo translates to "Offspring" in the native Maori language. - Community Wine Reviews
