2022 PINOT NOIR

Tasting Notes

​

Jen Parr - April 2025

The wine has a lovely garnet hue and a beguiling nose of bright red fruit followed by savoury spice that has intensified with time in the bottle.  The whole clusters used in the fermentation contributed to this wonderful perfume and also to the high quality of the silky, fine tannins.   The well-integrated oak sits nicely in the background, enhancing the structure, and the apt acidity gives the wine a persistent flow.   The 2022 vintage was a warmer one, however, this wine is elegant and beautifully balanced with great aging potential.

The wine looks good.  Still very youthful.”

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit – May 2024

95pts & 5 Stars

 

Gorgeously fruited and fragrant, the bouquet shows sweet plum, cherry, olive, clove, and roasted nut aromas. It's silky-smooth and flowing in the mouth, offering excellent fruit purity with stylish complexity. Splendidly framed by layers of fine tannins, making it wonderfully structured with a persistent, velvety finish. At its best: now to 2032.
