The El Jabali Pinot Noir is darker and more intense in profile, reflecting fruit sourced from one of the vineyard's warmest and lowest-yielding sections. The berries are smaller at this site, with blue and black-hued fruit and elegant floral aromas noticeable in the vineyard. Aromas of black cherry, thyme and dark berries lead into a palate of considerable depth and concentration. Fifteen percent whole-bunch fermentation adds structure and complexity, while ageing in François Frères barrels contributes texture and framing oak influence. The cool season tempered the wine's natural power, resulting in a Pinot Noir that is rich yet balanced and built for extended cellaring.
