Lamont Pinot Noir 2018
Central Otago, South Island, New ZealandThis pinot noir is of organically grown clones 777, 667, 115, and Abel, partial whole bunch, and on skins for four weeks before being pressed off to French barriques (30% new) for 11 months. The wood is certainly felt in the framing of this fuller pinot, flush with darker fruit, forest, mulled cassis, and baking spices. Tannins are fuzzy, hugging the fruit to a rose petal finish. For those wanting to drink pinot, but in love with syrah.Tasted: 23 March 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $49.95 | 750ml | private wine shops |
