Tasting notes
The 2021 Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir is alive and energetic, svelte and composed. As I write this, I am sitting at the bottom of the Burn Cottage Vineyard in Lowburn, looking up the rows. This is a mineral, nuanced expression, with graphite and white tea, pomegranate pearls, raspberry licorice, rosehips and crushed pink peppercorns. This is what I came here for. It’s thrilling, lacy, delicate and focused. Exciting wine, exciting drinking. It sits on the palate nicely—evenly weighted, and it spools through the long finish... yes! 13.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.

Ted Lemon no longer consults here and the wines are made by Claire Mulholland. Pretty dark purplish crimson. Spicy, intriguing nose and pretty sweet palate entry. California influence? Seems definitely sweeter than most in this organic/ biodynamic line-up. (JR)
