Tasting notes
The 2017 Pinot Noir from Domaine Eden has a pleasant, volcanic-like nose with scents of tar, scorched earth and iodine with a core of pure, aniseed-laced red and black berry fruits. Medium-bodied, the palate packs intense, pure flavors into a finely silty, fresh frame, and it finishes very long. It's an earthy, layered Pinot that will age very well in bottle. 1,848 cases produced.

10% whole-cluster fermented. Grown on the old Cinnabar Winery estate, at 1,650 ft (503 m) elevation on a north-facing slope. Roughly 1,900 cases produced. Aromas of cranberry and cherry fruit. Bright cranberry and cherry flavours are juicy with hints of earthier pomegranate and dried flowers. Excellent acidity and hints of dried citrus peel linger in the finish. Excellent. (AY)
The 2017 Pinot Noir is rich, effusive and full of character. In 2017, the Pinot Noir is perhaps a bit richer than it can be, but all the elements come together nicely with a bit of time. Succulent red cherry, rose petal, mint and cinnamon all build in an ample, luscious Pinot that will drink well right out of the gate Harvest took place in mid-September, later than at Mount Eden, as is always the case. This is the first vintage that includes fruit from a block planted with budwood from Rhys.
