The Reserve Pinot Noir is one of the estate’s flagship wines; an expression of the highest quality Pinot fruit from the estate vineyard from a single year. In 2018, three clones (Pommard, Wadenswil and Dijon) from three of the vineyard’s most prized blocks—Graham’s, Parsons and Plumlee—made the cut. Each block was destemmed and fermented separately in small open-top steel vessels to ensure full expression of clone and terroir. The final blend was assembled after maturation, which took place in French barriques (41% new) for 10 months.

The Reserve 2018 gets better with air, so don’t be afraid to decant and allow this deep and brooding Pinot Noir to unfurl in the glass. Purring with energy and character, dark and silky Pinot fruits and warm spice embrace supple structures, mineral depth, supportive wood and a long-lasting close.

Reviews

“Super spicy cherries with spiced-biscuit complexity. The palate has a very smooth-honed core of bright, vibrant dark berries and cherries with silky tannin texture. Drink or hold.”
