Aromas of spiced rhubarb, sweet red cherries, Asian five spice and vanilla mingle with earthy notes and the distinct fruity spice notes of sassafras forest. The palate is seductive with fleshy red and black cherries. It develops with spices from the whole bunch inclusion and French oak barrels.
Fermentation started after two or three days and continued for four to five days, with up to five per cent whole bunches. The cap was plunged twice a day to extract colour and tannin from the skin. The wine was then pressed and settled before being placed into French oak barriques for 11 months, where malolactic fermentation took place.
94 Point Rated - Ray Jordan
A remarkably complex pinot noir displaying distinct forest floor earthy funk throughout. There's dark chocolate and black cherry merging under a seamless umbrella of oak and tannin. Has a smooth velvety texture but there is serious structural intent here.
93 Point Rated - James Suckling
Bright cherry and strawberry fruit here, together with rose petals and sweet spices. Medium-bodied, bright and fruity with creamy tannins. Delicious ripe-strawberry character throughout, with a long, flavorful finish. Drink now or hold. Screw cap.
