This is quite a structured and intense Pinot Noir from this cool vintage. The colour is quite pale but that can be deceptive as the aroma explodes with a mix of florals and strawberry before you delve into a palate that, while medium weight, has a driving intensity and power. The oak and tannin regime holds it tight and firm, but there is a depth of fleshy fruit held within. It’s a wine of great poise, texture, and palate extension that reflects this distinctive vineyard terroir.
