Region: Piccadilly Valley 

Variety: Pinot Noir 

What's in the glass: From a mere four rows, 10% whole bunch, 10% new French oak. Restrained aromas of autumnal leaves and au jus make for a very attractive earthy and savoury opening. Wild strawberry and dried cherry sit behind, dancing around a beautiful core of ferrous minerality and pops of salty, roast tomato umami and dried cranberry. This is quite stunning from the outset, with a Burgundian restraint and sensibility as well as lovely complexity. The palate is fine and detailed with brilliant texture and balance. Cherry, red currant and wild raspberry make way for a similarly autumnal display of decaying leaf, earth, subtle mushroom and ferrous minerality again. All of this before being wrapped up by integrated, earthy tannins and fresh acidity to a long and even finish. This is such a great wine. Balance, poise, length and a striking mineral complexity. 25 dozen made. Tom Kline — 96+ Points
