2015 Ten Minutes by Tractor McCutcheon Vineyard Pinot Noir

The McCutcheon vineyard release is treated slightly differently in the winery to some of the other single vineyard wines having a longer pre-ferment maceration and a touch more new oak than both the Judd and Wallis.

A light red with crimson hues in colour, the nose is steeped in dark cherry with lifted sap and spice notes that grow in stature with time in the glass.

You are met with a density of dark cherry fruit on the palate with equal measure of drying tannins that meld beautifully with tight grained french oak that provides a sheath of richness and brown spice. The length to finish is impressive, showcasing tightly bound dark cherry fruit with lingering earthen notes.

This will live for a long time.
