A vivid pinot with soaked crabapples, blueberry skin, citrus and raspberry fool. Medium-bodied with lots of fresh fruit, firm tannins, bright acidity and a tangy finish. Very pretty. JS

The 2017 Pinot Noir Estate was made with 10% whole cluster and aged 14 months in 30% new French oak. Pale to medium ruby, it gives up bright scents of cranberry jelly, raspberry and strawberry jam, black tea leaves and blood orange with a lovely floral streak plus accents of rhubarb, cinnamon stick and dried leaves. Light to medium-bodied, it’s broody in the mouth with a soft frame and bright freshness, finishing long. RP
