2020 Silent Way Pinot Noir

The grapes are sourced from the Quarry Ridge vineyard and made by Matt Harrop. 2020 was a difficult year in many ways and this is an excellent example of Pinot Noir at less that $30. A light red in the glass with a fragrant nose of lifted red cherry, cinnamon like spice and more earthen wild strawberry. The wine has great pace, acidity is well handled with a tart red cherry influence but is in balance with plusher red berry fruits, the impact of oak gives a floral and spiced impact before bitter dark cherry brings things to a close.
