Tasting Notes
Our 2021 Bessies Block Pinot Noir has vibrant aromatics of dark cherry and plums with toasty oak spice and dried herbs following through to the palate. Clove, bramble and cherries enhanced by a nutty savoury element. Bottle age has softened the tannin, giving it a beautiful texture and weight. Rich and mouth-filling, beautifully structures with a long finish.
Reviews
94 points / Excellent / Cam Douglas MS
A lovely bouquet and palate with aromas and flavours of sweet red cherry and strawberry, a light cranberry quality then a fine savoury core. Textures from the tannins and acid line deliver a lovely fine chalky mouthfeel cushioned by core fruit flavours and a gentle sweetness from French wood. Well made, lengthy and ready to drink from 2024 through 2029.
