Crittenden

Written By Angus Hughson

Rollo Crittenden’s 2022 premium wine releases are something special while showcasing the cool vintage. For drinking right now, both the Zumma releases are stylish with strong typicity and drinkability with some ageing potential. Conversely, Cri de Coeur Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are tightly wound, and demand time in the cellar to reach their peak.

Crittenden Zumma Chardonnay 2022

Opens with freshly grated lemon, white peach and hints of toast. Open and expressive offering ripe white peach, yoghurt and a creamy mouth-filling palate. Well balanced, finishing long with hints of toast and nougat.

95 points

Crittenden Zumma Pinot Noir 2022

Fragrant bouquet of strawberry, red cherry and violets. Plush and open-knit showing excellent intensity with an array of fleshy, ripe red berries. Supple tannins in support. Beautifully balanced finishing long.

95 points
