Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, chalk, mint and crushed rocks are finely drawn in this nervy, taut Pinot Noir. The 2024 is a wine of detail and nuance.

It includes some of the finest sites in the appellation - vineyards that we have planted, farmed or harvested for thirty years. Comprising three of our region’s unique sub-districts, the wine blends fruit from the valley with vineyards further west, stretching out to the coolest ‘reaches’ of the appellation’s high elevation coastal ridges. Each district contributes something unique, be it valley-floor texture and volume, ridgeline fruit intensity or bright coastal acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 season saw a wet winter, a mild spring, and a hot July. Fortunately, harvest temperatures were gentle and mild, allowing steady progression to perfect maturity. Irrigation was not required, but we needed to crop thin to bring the vines into balance. Harvest took place over a stress-free three-week period. Berry size was moderate, so the wines have obvious concentration with an intense fruit core and fresh balancing acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAromas and flavors akin to rose petal, hibiscus, black cherry and dark raspberry. An edge of dried herb and Asian spice. Medium-bodied with deep layers of texture and lovely fruit purity. Turns sleek and succulent on the bright lingering finish. Drink between 2026 and 2034.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eVineyards \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e33% Flax Estate Vineyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e26% Dr. Galante Estate Vineyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21% Dutton-Jentoft Vineyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20% Occidental Road Vineyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvest dates listed: August 21–September 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFermentation: Native yeasts, 25% whole clusters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAging: 11 months in 228L French oak barrels, 30% new, followed by 3 months in tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottled unfiltered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction listed: 4,500 cases of 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAdditional Press Mention\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplied producer material also lists 94 points from Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent.
