Of the single vineyard pinots, this has the most structure and fruit weight with everything in check. A whorl of sweet black cherries doused in pepper and baking spices with some tart pomegranate freshness enlivens the full-bodied palate. Although there's a density to the ripe tannins, they have been neatly absorbed into the fabric of the wine.

This offers a rich array of ripe red and dark-cherry aromas with violets, baking spices and earthy nuances. The palate has great definition and detail, in tannin terms, with plenty of dark-cherry flavor. Drink or hold. Screw cap. Rating: 96 Points; Nick Stock; James Suckling
