One-third whole bunch done as a carbonic component and blended back; 10 months in 40% new French oak puncheons. A pinot noir of layers, deceptively so, as it builds in flavour and nuance across the palate. A pristine purity resides here. Brilliant bright cherry red hues. Boysenberry, cherry and raspberry fruits mix with musky florals and sweet spice aromas. Concentrated and fleshy, it sets about releasing hints of forest floor and a gentle savouriness tied to vibrant, summery fruits and woody spice to taste, all delivered through a web of fine tannins. Flows evenly and with staying power."
