Note di degustazione
Burgundy/black in color, the 2019 Pinot Noir leads with a nose littered with bone/meat broth, pink and black peppercorn, umami mushroom and black cherry. In the mouth, the wine is ripe tasting, sinewy and dark, shaped by firm tannins. There’s just a lick of salted licorice. Tasted September 2023 with Kevin Judd at the estate in Marlborough.

The 2019 Pinot Noir is an impressive, broody, rich wine with a smoky, meaty personality. There's a change to the maturation regimen in 2019, with élevage reduced from 18 to 12 months, but the wine spent its maturation time in high-toast Mercurey barrels, which have a strong personality. The depth of fruit carries the smoky bacon-like oak flavors and acts as a counterpoint to the sweet red cherry and floral notes. The finish is dry, savory and relatively robust. I rather like this for its “no guts, no glory” attitude. Best Greywacke Pinot yet? Probably.
