Tasting Notes

“Forward fruit flavours don’t come easily here,” says Anthony Hamilton Russell, whose Pinot Noir can often be backward and slightly earthy in its youth. This is a blend of the 113, 115 and 667 clones, showing deftly handled 25% new oak, slightly ferrous top notes of blood and root vegetables, layers of plum and black cherry and complex, savoury, well-integrated tannins. 2027-35
