The 2022 Estate Pinot Noir features old-vine fruit from Bentrock and Radian Vineyard from a warmer-than-average growing season. The result is striking fruit intensity with a dense, velveteen texture on the palate. Fruit flavours weave melodically through layers of warm baking spices, sweet tobacco, and savoury, earthen tones reminiscent of foraged mushrooms and dried sage. Bold blackberry and cherry fruit concentrations hint at the excellent ageing potential. This very formal Pinot Noir finishes with silky tannins, and long linear acidity lingers long after the wine is gone. It will continue to evolve, with 7-10 years being the sweet spot for peak enjoyment.
