2020

Pinot Noir

From the coveted east-facing RISE section of Elswick Vineyard high above the banks of the Navarro river (across from Roderer Estate). Deep in the deep end, embraced by the fog. 2002 is loaded with black cherry, tobacco, grapefruit zest, blackberries, hibiscus, mushroom, clove and raspberries the attack is balanced with wonderful brightness and acidity. Good structure for aging but tannins are well rounded with softness in a long and multilayered mid palate. The finish continues with black currant, truffle and cocoa.
