Dark chocolate, walnuts, dried flowers, orange peel, and lead pencil. Medium-bodied with firm and racy tannins that give a linear feel and focus to this wine. Compact and polished tannins that run deep into the wine. Solid and curated texture. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Layered with red apple blossom, cherry, strawberry, hints of pomegranate molasses and black tea, the 2021 Pinot Noir is floral and pretty on the nose. In the mouth, the wine is all of these things, lingering through the detailed and finessed finish. The silty tannins speak to the Southern Valleys vineyard from which the fruit is sourced. There is density ensconced with the light framework of the wine. Very good! 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Spiced and juicy plum, blueberry and oolong tea elements mingle with black licorice, crushed pine needle and clove notes. Gains momentum and complexity on the long, expressive finish, where a hint of salted toffee lingers. Drink now. 600 cases imported.

Promising flinty reduction on the nose with aromas of ripe dark fruits and assertive spicy notes. Concentration of fruit and harmonious structure, lovely grip with a spiciness on the finish.
