Spy Valley Envoy Outpost Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017

This is a most impressive older Pinot, still showing largely primary characters with just a little secondary development edging in. Cherry and lifted strawberry lift from the nose with a light sprinkle of spice. The palate is medium bodied and intensely powerful. Yet it delivers with a subtlety that is classically Pinot. Starting to drink quite well.
