2017 Catlin Pudding and Pie Pinot Noir

Sourced from the close planted Maple Ridge vineyard the wine was fermented using wild yeast with a good helping of whole bunch before ageing in French oak. The wine is a pretty, light red in the glass that is the hallmark of the 2017 vintage, the nose packs a punch with smokey spiced earth and funky undergrowth tones that keep showing more with time in the glass. There is an understated elegance of fruit with delicate red cherry fruit enjoying fine lines of acidity and the subtle textural build of whole bunch induced spice. The length is impressive with fruit and savoury threads meshed together.
