WINEMAKER'S NOTES
The 2015 vintage was much like Pinot Noir itself – temperamental. Both colder and warmer than average conditions throughout the year created a dramatic tension that resulted in equally dramatic and distinctive wines.
This youthful wine has great character, leading off with fresh notes of ripe cherry and plum. Red fruit gives was into a pleasant earthiness, expressed through notes of tobacco, nettle and a touch of spice. On the palette, silky tannins lend a bit of body, balanced by a refreshing acidity and an elegant finish.
FOOD MATCHES
The tannin in this wine reaches for a distinctive food pairing. Consider a duck or a pork roast to allow this Pinot Noir to play up it’s complexities while not overwhelming it’s delicate fruit. A creamy mushroom risotto would also be a great pairing to showcase this Pinot Noir’s structure and flavour profile. When looking for cheese pairings, choose cheeses with creaminess like an aged Camembert, or delicate flavours such as Comte.
