Note di degustazione
Translucent ruby in color, the 2021 Pinot Noir Old Vines Dundee Hills wafts up with a bouquet of wild strawberries, mint leaves and wet stone. This is a model of purity, lifted and refined with bright red fruits guided by brisk acidity. It's crisp and full of crunchy tension, tapering off long with a citrus tinge as a coating of fine tannins slowly fades. There's so much complexity here, yet it will require time to express itself fully. The Old Vines Pinot is sourced from Block 2 of the Maresh vineyard, planted in 1970.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Old Vines comes from the Maresh Vineyard, from vines that were planted in 1970, and has a singular expression with detailed, spicy accents reminiscent of bitters or amaro. "You only get those high-toned essences if you pick al dente," winemaker Jim Maresh explains. "It's easy to volatilize all that away." The Old Vines has a medium ruby color and arresting aromas of orange bitters, mossy bark and tobacco leaves complementing a deep core of pomegranate, rhubarb and cranberry. The light-bodied palate offers remarkably pure, detailed flavors. It has velvety tannins, seamless freshness and a very long finish with a flourish of spicy accents.
