Aromatically it leans towards morello cherry, cranberry and a little rhubarb, with dried thyme and a twist of black pepper sitting behind the fruit. The palate follows the same line — tart red berries, a hint of blood orange, then something earthier and more savoury through the middle.
A rich earthy Pinot Noir with clear cherry fruit aroma. The palate is soft and slippery, full, and generous with very fine tannin attributed to the modern 777 clone.
