BK Wines Gower Pinot Noir 2016

Lenswood, Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaNamed for grower Jeff Gower, this is a Lenswood pinot noir, flush with black plum, dusky cherry, wild blackberry, with wild mushrooms, big flake salts on a juicy, muscular, frame. Root beer scoots throughout, as does a cola note, right up to the spicy finish. Hard to call this pinot fleshy at 12.8 percent, but tasted next to the skinny Skin n' Bones, that visual comes to mind. Youthful, with presence, and finesse, and longevity. Clones 117, 114, 115 were 90 percent whole bunch pressed and spent one month on skins before resting in Vosges-sourced oak (one quarter new).Tasted: 20 October 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
