A compelling Pinot Noir that speaks of the site, winemaking technique and the layered impact of quality French Oak. The nose is expansive with dark cherry and and rhubarb enjoying vanillin spice against damp earth. The quality of fruit is undeniable, it tends to more of the dark than red side of the cherry spectrum, but is light on its feet and works alongside savoury but compact tannins. The finish focuses on on driving red cherry fruit, intertwined with the unmistakable spiced impact of tight grain French Oak.
