Tasting notes
The 2017 Estate Pinot Noir Scallop Shelf is a beautiful wine with delicate aromas of fragrant earth, bergamot, saline, iodine and aniseed. In the mouth, it’s medium-bodied, uber silky and concentrated with broody, spicy, fruits, seamless freshness and a very long, layered finish. 550 cases produced.

The 2017 Pinot Noir Estate Scallop Shelf is distinguished by its bright, focused personality and energy. As it often is, the Scallop Shelf is a wine of reserve and tension, showing plenty of savory and mineral character and less overt fruit than some of the other wines in the range. The 2017 is likely to require at least a few years to come into its own, but it is super-impressive. (95)
