Tasting notes
The 2021 Block 3 Pinot Noir is, just like its Block 5 sibling, pretty, capacious, floral, structural and clear. It has wonderful clarity of fruit and acid here, both working in concert with one another. The wine is still opening up, and the mineral finish on it feels closed at this early stage. It's a wine for later, the focus and precision being its calling cards. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Block 3 is an almost floaty, light red despite its evident density. There's attractive tannic sinew that seems to just hold the wine, as if providing a protective film. I love this or not trying too hard and sliding along. The lengthy finish offers cherry, tea leaf and spice on the persistent finish.
North-facing slope of deep silt that’s the heart of the Elms vineyard in front of the winery. Transparent cherry red. A certain sweet lolly character on the nose. Some sweet spiciness and a certain graininess on the end. Still quite youthful. (JR)
