Tomich Icon 1777 Pinot Noir 2022

Only made in the best of vintages this is a celebration of the 777 clone, which works well for the high toned perfume of the Hills. Redskins, raspberries, cranberries and a touch of hibiscus. There is a true freshness to the fruit, you can almost feel the taut skin and cascade of grape juice as it’s being pressed. The palate has a distinct red cherry, almost like a great quality cocktail cherry that’s been steeping in Chambord. The dusty tannins are quite significant – this will cellar beautifully but only if you can restrain yourself from opening it too soon. The fruit is in immaculate condition and really showing itself off to its highest potential. An Icon wine for a reason, drink with lamb backstrap served pink with sweet potatoes and red wine jus.
