Tasting notes
Pale to medium ruby, the 2016 Pinot Noir has a gregarious nose of red licorice, Bing cherries, dried cranberries, rhubarb and warm red berries with notes of earth, tea leaves and cola. The light to medium-bodied palate is softly structured with good fruit intensity, juicy acidity and lots of spices coming through on the long finish. 1,839 cases produced.

A very alluringly floral nose here with dried roses, leaves, bergamot and plenty of red cherries on offer, leading to a very fresh and succulent palate that delivers such intense and focused fruit flavor. Accurate. Drink or hold.
The 2016 Pinot Noir is a powerful yet gracious wine that speaks with real distinction. Sweet red cherry, chalk, mint and floral notes are laced throughout this deep-pitched Pinot. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure and overall feel, it has quite a bit of underlying structure as well.
