2025 Regional Pinot Noir

Bright ruby red, and immediately inviting, dark red cherry, exotic spices and woody herb aromatics fill the glass, with a subtle flinty, smoky complexity. The palate as is usual for our style is full of plump red cherry and spicy complexity, structured by fresh acid and fine, powdery tannins which lend plenty of seriousness to this early release wine. Open and appealing at present, this Pinot Noir will also reward medium term cellaring with additional complexity and nuance. A wonderful weekday wine, or introduction to our style.
