100% hand-harvested Pinot Noir grapes from the Lowburn sub-region and matured for 16 months in French oak. Hawthorn, black cherry and olive tapenade. A touch of juniper, clove and black pepper spice. Ivy creeper, sage leaf and leather varnish. Savoury oak tones wrap the ripe fruit in a cuddly embrace. It is well structured with angular tannins whilst maintaining a plummy mid palate. A muscular wine that would work well with charred meats on the bbq, perhaps lamb ribs or spicy chorizo. Drink now and will cellar well for 3-4 years.
