Aromas of violets, red cherries and baked strawberries. Some hibiscus. Medium-bodied with silky and supple texture. Finely knit tannins are soaked in fresh red berries with some herbal complexity. Tea leaves and rosemary stems, as well. Lovely tension here. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap

Intense pinot noir with a mix of fruit and savoury characters including raspberry, dark cherry, dried herb, grape stem, hedgerow and nutty oak flavours. Accessible now but with potential to gain even more complexity with bottle age.
95 points Bob Campbell MW therealreview.com This Home Block Moutere Pinot Noir offers more than meets the eye, although from a dry hot summer, this Noir retains a refreshing characteristic.Classically rich with dark chocolate notes, layered with coffee, cigar smoke and soft, old leather. Something of a prohibition bar in the 20’s. But there is an elegance here that is truly graceful, a balance of dark fruit, fine tannin and subtle oak.For such a refined wine, you can rebel it up with food... dark enough for BBQ’d venison, earthy enough for wild mushrooms, intelligent enough to have on its own, in the cool of the evening, next to a roaring fire.
