“With a hint of spice on the palate, but the fruit
shines through the wood. Fresh and silky yet with enough structure,
with good firmness at the finish.”

“Vines planted in 2000. 100% Pinot. 12 months in barrel for 80% of the wine, of which 20% is new French oak, 70% older French oak and some older US. Concrete fermenters – old underground tanks from 1938 that have been repaired and were originally painted with epoxy but they have found that this is not necessary.
Lightish strawberry colour. Very pretty and scented red fruits. A little bit of spice on the palate but the fruit shines through the oak. Fresh and silky but with sufficient structure for shape and for the table, with a little fine grip on the finish. Very good. (JH) 13%
