Tasting notes
Certified Salmon Safe and LIVE-certified sustainable. Certified organic by CCOF and biodynamic by Demeter. Pale, verging on medium ruby in colour. Savoury and slightly reductive on the nose. Tony Soter calls it 'benign burgundian funk'; I call it Etna-esque for the gravelly reduction. The palate has dark-cherry fruit and a flavour of the black-walnut bitters used in an upscale Old Fashioned. It's earthy on the finish with a kiss of brett and resinous herbs. (SCJ)

The 2019 Pinot Noir Estates is scented of red cherries, cranberries, earth and spice. The medium-bodied palate is soft, bright and spicy with lush fruit and a long, spicy finish.
The 2019 Estates Pinot Noir is brooding with aromas of cedar, fresh leather, and cherry liqueur. The palate offers a silky texture with fine tannins, dark black raspberry fruit, scorched earth, and pine. Drink 2023-2033.
Dark garnet. Intense red and blue fruit, potpourri and cola scents show fine definition and spicy lift. Palate-coating raspberry, boysenberry, spicecake and floral pastille flavors tighten up steadily through the back half. Finishes smooth and long, with sneaky tannins and lingering red fruit and spice notes.
