Very much like the previous vintage of this vineyard designate Pinot Noir, it’s a wine that’s not for everyone, but it is a completely unique expression. Give it some glass time to subdue the bright green notes, and you’ve got a nice mix of cherry, fresh turned field and brown spice, with food friendly acidity and a long finish. Give it a go and expand your perception of what’s possible with Pinot Noir.
