Produced from a Single Vineyard in the Lenswood sub region of Adelaide Hills and crafted by the talented Peter Leske this is a consistently good performer with the 2016 vintage no different.
The wine is a fuller expression of Pinot Noir when compared to previous vintages of the wine which speaks to the 2016 growing season that produced bigger, richer and more fruit forward wines than in previous years. The wine still maintains it's varietal definition and has the structure to evolve well.
In terms of colour it is a light red with ruby hues, the nose gives a combination of dark cherry and beetroot with an impression of undergrowth and spice somewhere in the background.
The palate is expansive with mouth filling dark cherry that slowly shows it's savoury side with a continual build of fine, drying and earthen tannins that take this wine to dark fruited and sullen place with a lingering note of spice giving contrast.
A well made wine that will undoubtedly reward years in the cellar.
