Tasting Notes: The Oldfield Series Pinot Noir is sourced from the winery's Black Sage Bench vineyard and spends 18 months in French oak barrels and then another 2 years in the bottle to ensure the wine is peaking when released - a successful program.
The 2011 vintage had its ups and downs with a cooler than average growing season, yet, the finished wine shows ripeness in its tasty, New World blend of both juicy and tangy red fruit and light, earthy-herbal notes. The flavour profile is further enhance with a savoury blend of spices like anise, spearmint and cloves and is neatly wrapped in a blanket of mouth-watering acid and ever-so-slightly greenish tannins. Tomato stock and spice linger on the long, toasted-oak finish. Drink now-2018.
