Pale ruby-purple, the 2021 Pinot Noir Southeast Block has slowly blossoming scents of red cherry, pomegranate, aniseed, tar, conifer and bergamot. The light-bodied palate is pleasantly austere with its chalky tannins and delicately styled, floral fruit. It offers bursts of energetic acidity and a very long, ethereal finish. Mineral-driven and delicate at this stage, it deserves a few more years in bottle.

The palate is wonderfully spicy and earthy, with a medium-bodied core of flesh well-framed by velvety tannins and great freshness, finishing with lingering cinnamon and clove notes.
