2017 Punt Road Pinot Noir

2017 is shaping up as a standout vintage with a delicacy of fruit and youthful acidity making the wines immediately approachable but sure to reward time in the cellar.

A beautiful light red in the glass with fresh summer berries that are lifted by baking spice and contrasted by a savory rhubarb nuance. There is primary generosity of red cherry on the palate that is underlined by more sullen, serious darker berry fruit with an earth and stem complexity.

The tannins are purposeful and pave the path to a finish that is defined by bright red fruits and generosity of spice.

This is a unique wine that is going to drink well at all stages of its development.
