Pike & Joyce W.J.J. Reserve Pinot Noir 2024

The excellent 2024 vintage has provided a number of thoroughly impressive bottles of Pinot Noir from Lenswood in the Adelaide Hills, and elsewhere from the Hills of course, and now we can add this cracker to the list. Fermentation was with wild yeasts and maturation was for eight months in French oak. Maroon/purple hue, this is an impressively fragrant Pinot. We have notes of plums, leaf litter, kirsch, charcuterie and cassis. Supple and sleek, this is finely focused with good energy through to silky tannins. Love it. This should drink beautifully over the next decade. A superb Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir.
