| TASTING NOTE: This is a wild fermented and barrel aged Pinot Noir sourced from both Westcott sites, that sees 22 months in older French oak barriques. It shows good colour in the glass and has an intense nose of brambly red berries, earthy/spicy notes, a touch of anise, violets and subtle spice notes. It's rich and savoury on the palate with ripe tannins, a bit of cedar and a melange of dark cherries, black raspberries, cassis, spice and a lifted, vibrant finish. After retasting, this is in a very good spot and will be a perfect companion for Christmas when released at Vintages this fall and in December. Can cellar through 2032.
