2008 Pinot Noir

Our 2008 Pinot Noir is a delicate and elegant example of this very versatile grape variety. The season started with some early rainfall, which gave us a longer ripening period than normal. This helped to create a more fruit-driven style.

Fresh characters of morello cherry, damson plum and tamarillo

drift into the nose with hints of cumin, turmeric and cinnamon. There are also subtleties of lovely Asian spices with some delicate Vietnamese mint and Szechwan pepper that create a tapestry of aromas.

This wine builds up a lovely sweet and sour palate with earthy tones to balance the fresh scents. It is destined to become truly great with 8 to 10 years in your wine cellar.
