Small Wonder Block 3 Pinot Noir 2024

This 2023 Block 3 Pinot Noir delivers a fascinating counterpoint against the Auburn Pinot Noir, the clonal mix of 114 and 115 making all the difference. The wine teases with its layers of cranberry and red cherry, with Middle Eastern spices and a subtle backdrop of fine French oak. It maintains that cerebral overall feel with a slick, streamlined palate which holds over a long sinewy finish that will unwind with a little time in the cellar.
