    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    A little more focussed and less exotic than Horseshoe with a finely tuned yet complex aromas of meadow flowers, wild strawberry, and a touch of wild savoury spice and dark sapid fruit. As this slinks its way across the palate small red berry fruit, wild herb, cool minerality all come together with wonderful persistence and quiet intensity, as energetic driving flavour is lifted by taut tannins. A touch of savoury complexity from the 25% whole bunch fermentation only serves to add an extra layer of interest to the fine sweet fruit.

    Antonio Galloni,
    Vinous
    The 2018 Pinot Noir Alpine Vineyard opens with striking, floral-infused aromatics that give the wine presence and structure. Savory and finely cut, with superb delineation, and tons of depth, the Alpine is positively stellar today. Layers of fruit enshroud the tannins, making them barely perceptible. The 2018 is a stunning Pinot from Alpine, a site originally planted with 17 heritage clones.
