Notes | |||
"Our Pinot Noir delivers on all levels. The clay-rich soils located in the southern border of our estate allow for an intensely concentrated Pinot Noir in flavour combined with a firm structured backbone of elegant and sinewy tannins. Layers of red fruit, dried herb and perfumed violet characters with nuances of white pepper make this wine attractive and in age when it will benefit from extra complexity." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"A full-bodied, richly textured example thanks to the richer soils on the estate's southern borders. You can expect attractive aromas of violets, herbs and red cherries. There's a sumptuous veil of fine-grained tannins that coat the mouth and add sinew and a sense of purpose on the medium-length finish. If you were feeling intrepid, you could approach this now with a decent hunk of meat, but leave it for a couple of years to enjoy its evolution of flavor and tannin." —Vinous |
