The 2016 Pinot Noir Estate Reserve is a big wine. Red fruit, pomegranate, rose petal, lavender, mint and spice are some of the notes that race out of the glass. The Reserve is quite powerful and explosive in feel, but it is also a bit reduced. In my view, some of the other wines in this range offer better balance and completeness. Let's see what bottle age brings here.

Medium ruby colored, the 2016 Pinot Noir Reserve has an inviting nose of dried cranberry, warm cherry, smoke, pipe tobacco, autumn leaves and floral hints. Light to medium-bodied, it's silky but supported by very fine, grainy tannins, turning minerally on the finish. A truly cool-climate style Pinot. 803 cases produced.
