Horseshoe Vineyard, Pinot Noir

Notes

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.

Notes

The 2017 Pinot Noir Horseshoe Vineyard is one of the most distinctive wines in this range and also one of the Pinots that seemed to deal with the rigors of the growing season particularly well. Deep, mysterious and resonant, the 2017 has so much to say. Sweet tobacco, grilled herbs, menthol, licorice and earthy notes meld into a core of black cherry and plum fruit. The 2017 has a distinctive savory quality, even though it was made with fully destemmed fruit.
