Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir 2023

Emily Thomas - Decent, not mind-blowing

7/10

Picked this up because I know Cloudy Bay from their Sauvignon Blanc. The Pinot is fine — nice cherry flavours, well made, easy drinking. Just expected a bit more character at this price point honestly.

Rosa Paredes - Really impressed with this one

9/10

Bought this for a dinner party and it went down incredibly well. Loads of cherry and plum on the nose, and it drinks really smoothly — you wouldn't guess it's 14%. Definitely buying again.

Priya Sharma - Absolutely smashed this bottle

9/10

Saw this on a menu on holiday and ordered it on a whim. So glad I did. Rich berry fruit, smooth as anything, and that little hit of spice at the end is lovely. Went straight home and ordered a case online.

Gianluca Ferro - Nice but a bit pricey

7/10

It's a perfectly good Pinot Noir — cherry fruit, smooth finish, easy to drink. But for £36.50 I feel like you can find similar quality for less. Would drink it again if someone else was buying.

Jake Morrison - Solid Pinot from NZ

8/10

Had this at a restaurant and liked it enough to track down a bottle. Nice dark berry flavours and the tannins are really silky. Good balance overall, though at £36 I'd save it for occasions rather than a Tuesday night.

Andre Dubois - Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

My partner got me this for my birthday and wow. The plum and cherry flavours are gorgeous and there's this lovely spicy note right at the end. One of the better Pinots I've had in a while.

Isabella Rossi - Great with lamb

8/10

The guy in the wine shop recommended this to go with a roast leg of lamb and he was spot on. It's got enough depth and fruit to stand up to red meat but it's not heavy at all. Clean finish too.

Mia Sundberg - Cloudy Bay does it again

8/10

Really well put together. You get the dark fruit and a bit of earthiness that keeps it interesting. Shared it with friends over pizza and everyone kept topping up their glasses, which says it all really.
