Skyline, Pinot Noir

Notes

Perhaps the most arresting Skyline we’ve tasted, this smells like rocks, then wild fruits, then orange peel, then wild red berries. You can sense the paucity of the soil, the proximity of the bedrock in the flavours of red berries crushed over rocks. This is laid bare. That said, there’s less austerity here, less inscrutability than in some previous years, and it makes for a magical wine to taste. As usual Skyline is 100% whole cluster but you simply don’t taste the stems. This is very serious and deep yet not heavy, juicy but also so rocky and stony. There’s almost an exotic element, sweet spices, orange peel, baking spice and angostura appear in the super long finish. A breath-taking wine, and just 12.9% abv.
