Clear, bright crimson; yet another step up on the ladder for Castle Rock Pinot Noir, immediately proclaiming its variety from the first whiff (and sip); elegant, intense red berry fruits are backed by silky, fine tannins, oak seen but not heard. Should give eastern states pinots from '11 a hard time in the show ring.

Excellent intensity. And blatant varietal character too. Nothing baked or dry red-ish about this. Spice, sour cherry, chalk – and a wonderful ability to fill your mouth with perfume and mulchy, spicy, sour-fruit flavour. Stemmy. Structurally it’s firm and sinewy, but balanced, and the finish is a kind of flavour crescendo. Terrific release from Castle Rock.
