A Pinot Noir to lift whatever mood you are in. Offers a multi-sided view of cool climate Pinot, one that is both dark, well-spiced and textural, as well as fresh and cherry-berry crunchy. On the scent, it is all about those lively cherries, red plum, rosehip and cranberry with some added crushed herbals. Intensity follows, it’s flavoursome, but holding back something in reserve. Some gentle, well-knitted oak and fine tannins roll across the palate with spices, anise and a lovely blackcurrant pastille touch of sweet fruit which brings a lightness to the finish. Will unfold with more time.
