MV6 clone, fully destemmed and 15% new wood. A deep, bright crimson purple. Brooding with aromas of morello cherry, black plums and some rose bush and hedgerow scents, despite there being no whole bunches! The palate is ripe, balanced and with velvety tannins that make this the readiest to drink of the five (all superb) single-vineyard pinots from '24.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Complexity, depth and finish. This pinot noir is a genuine contender. Undergrowth, boysenberry, dark cherries and beetroot juice, with earth, spice and woodsmoke notes as depth players.

The 2022 vintage plays right into this signature - there’s plush black fruit, but also violet, tapenade, spice and a fine-boned structure that speaks of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s plenty of presence and power here, but it’s carried on a frame of silky, well-integrated tannins.
