Availability: Direct from winery here
Cost: $25 + taxes
Alcohol: 14.4%
Date Tasted: September 9th, 2018
Tasting Notes: A robust and meaty Pinot Noir from the winery's Lazy River Vineyard just South of Cawston that was fermented on Syrah skins in stainless steel tanks and then aged in French oak for 14 months (25% new) prior to bottling. Look for a fruit-first nose with raspberry and cherry aromas upfront followed by a wave of more savoury notes; peppercorn seeds, light cocoa and a hint of vanilla. An intense, medium-plus bodied palate follows with similar fruit and pepper notes and an extra touch of oak, mocha, exotic spice and dried cranberries on the moderate, mouth-watering finish. Ready to go now. Drink 2018-2021.
