A exotic red fruited wine with ripe raspberries, musk berries and vivid Morello cherries. Some dragonfruit flesh, rose thorn and sumac powder. Some grated nutmeg, cassia and red gum bark. There is some wondrous chew to the tannins, succulent acidity and a hint of bergamot. This is a stunning vintage that shows the enticing personality of Pemberton Pinot Noir with the silken weaved texture, unlike anywhere else. Those ripe tannins build and widen across the palate ensuring this has the ability for long term aging, say 5-10 years further. A wine that feels effortless. This is one for holding if you can but I forgive you if you are drinking it now, be brave and try this with some blushing lamb loin and a lemon, caper sauce.
