Wild raspberry and red cherry characters dominate while soft sweet brown spice characters add in detail. Savoury red cherry notes lead the wine onto the palate; the wine flows with good texture. Fine elegant tannins rise out of the mid-palate and with wild raspberry notes drive the finish alongside fine acidity.
A vintage of variability, contrasts and many different phases of weather through the growing season. A normal to warm start to the season was interrupted by a cold snap and snowfall mid-November. Weather over flowering was patchy, but overall successful. An oddity during summer this year was warmer nights and cooler days. There was a significant amount of early season rainfall, right through to the end of January. Cool and very dry conditions prevailed through February when verasion occurs - slowing the phase of ripening down. The heat and regular rainfall did reappear in March and then finally a very cool and lengthy final ripening phase through April.
90 Point Rated - Bob Campbell The Real Review
Moderately concentrated pinot noir with a core of sweet plum, blackberry, blueberry and dark cherry together with spice/wild thyme and cacao powder. A real crowd-pleaser offering good value at this price.
