A mix of clones and 25% new oak here, displaying a gorgeous perfume of sweet cherry and raspberry fruit with a darker personality than the Estate Pinot, more blood orange, a little mint, and spicy cedar. There is a compelling generosity to the mid-palate and some muscle; it’s a deliciously expressive, ripe and supple experience and the balance makes it hard to resist now, but it has so much more to give!
