Elegant, complex pinot noir that's fine-grained and seamless, with layers of flavours including roasted chestnut, black cherry, spicy oak, fresh herb and subtle floral characters. Certainly approachable now but with promising potential.

An ethereal Pinot Noir, it has a nose of violets, boysenberry, plum, black olive and vanilla. Telling the story of the vintage, it is sweet-fruited and pretty with cherry, raspberry and blackberry, along with savoury tapenade and a touch of char and spice. Possessing talcy tannins and lively acidity, complexity builds mid-palate and it has a long, harmonious finish.
