    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Ridge is the highest, coolest vineyard of the three. The 2021 has a luminous, nervy feel with pixellated red and black berries, snappy tannins and a complexity of graphite, wild herb and forest floor. Owing to the levity of the 12.7% alcohol, Hannes opted to reduce the level of new oak to just 16% this year. A tremendous success, it might even be our favourite of the three. 453 cases.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2021 Pinot Noir Ridge, the coolest of the three Pinot Noir sites, contains 20% whole bunches like Hannes Storm's other cuvées. It has the most floral bouquet of the three: pressed violets, pencil lead, and slightly darker fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with rather firm tannins on the entry. Fresh and saline, it delivers lovely oyster shell notes on the black plum-driven finish. It needs just a few months to cohere fully.
