Tasting Notes
Aroma
A complex array of smoke and old fashioned roses lead on this brooding and dark berry
scented Pinot. Notes of spice and charcuterie add further intrigue.
Appearance
Moderately deep, bright ruby.
Palate
The palate is loaded with dark berries, sweet cherry and hints of French oak. Finely woven
acidity and fine-grained, chalky tannins give freshness on the palate. A youthful rendition of
Dog Point, this wine has an age worthy backbone and will reward further cellaring.
Cellaring Potential
Can be cellared for 10+ years.
Vintage Notes
Hand picked and chilled overnight prior to handsorting. 70% destemmed and 30%
whole bunches included. Fermented in small stainless open top fermenters with 100%
indigenous yeasts over a period of 3 weeks prior to pressing into French oak barrels for
eighteen months (30% new).
Region Notes
