Palate

This is a tightly layered wine: soft but ever-present tannins are long and they support deftly a stunning and complex façade of pure pinot primary flavours: from black berry fruits to cherry and wild strawberries, herbs, and lavender. The full drama of an acid afterglow takes over the back-palate, stretching out the herbal and savoury after-palate. Fathomless pools of Time’s first pinot noir fruit flavour hide below. A wine with a tiger waiting at the gate...

Food Pairing

A spatchcocked quail cooked quickly over coals, then rested for a little while so the birdmeat might relax. Quite good with a few similarly cooked figs, or a mushroom or two.

”There's lots of complexity and interest in this wine, particularly the distinct white pepper, mezcal and green herbal characters that overlay the red cherry, raspberry and cola notes. Tannins are fine grained and shapely, the wine fresh with its squirt of blood orange acidity. It's a perfumed, attractive, lighter-weight pinot noir, with great savoury credentials.”
– Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion
