The 2021 Pinot Noir Cygnus Block has layered aromas of raspberry, strawberry, Angostura bitters and forest floor. The light-bodied palate is silky and refreshing with nuanced flavors and a long, gently flinty finish. It will benefit from 3-5 years in the cellar.

Comprised of Swan clone Pinot Noir planted in a three-acre block, facing the eastern morning sun with low yileding vines. Gorgeous and elegant aromatics of red fruits and dried lavender with notes of lilac and wild rose. The palate soars with wild red berries and a rustic spice blend that melds perfectly with this wine's elegance. Savoury wild alpine herbs and sea salt mingle with a fresh mint finish.

The wine's aromatics channel Doc Holliday whispering, “I'm your huckleberry.” Huckleberries dominate this aromatic set, joined by vanilla and holster leather. Tart blueberries meet sweet Sungold tomatoes on the palate, along with an earthy blackberry-tea flavor. Great acidity here, with velvety tannins.
