Horseshoe Vineyard, Pinot Noir,

Compared to Bearwallow this is decidedly paler in both colour and the shade of aromas that emerge from the glass. Wild strawberry, mountain herb and orange peel notes, a complex stoniness, oyster shell, pine resin and fine smoke - this is complex, savoury and delicious. On the palate, fine supple fruit notes meet layers of minerality, tea and herbs, crushed stones and wild woodland berries. Savoury and beguiling yet also ethereal and lifted; wild red fruits with mountain and maritime nuance, - another beautifully balanced intensely mineral Horseshoe Pinot that fans out across the palate, weightless yet persistent. It’s a delight now but probably deserves a couple of years to be at its very best.
