| TASTING NOTE: A set of more north-facing vineyards here deliver a more restrained, mineral and compact pinot noir. Nevertheless, the nose has terrific ripe-fruit expression (a warmer vintage), and the oak fermentation (30%) works well to wrap the exuberant fruit into the mix of more mineral characters. The palate has plenty of lemon and grapefruit citrus, lemon zest and honey. This has done no malolactic and really delivers on the finish. Wonderfully clean,balanced and layered. Drinking well now but age through to 2025 with confidence for a more savory style. Score - 94 (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, Oct. 7, 2016) |
