Stoney Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

This medium bodied style Pinot Noir has vibrant red cherries and raspberry fruits with rose petal florals for additional lift. Dried herbs provide a savoury aspect through the mid palate with hints of sherry like almonds, pomegranate and slate characteristics which the reveals an underlying strength from a fine tannin structure Budburst Rating: #goodwine 87pts Last tasted 15/10/23 Winemaker Notes After a several-year hiatus while we waited for our new pinot noir vines to grow, the Stoney Vineyard Pinot Noir returns—juicy, fresh and floral. Drawn from a new block at the bottom of the vineyard, the fruit character is bright and light, with fresh raspberries and wafts of baked cherry pie overlaid by floral, almost peachy spice notes. Palate is light but well structured, with skinsy tannins and good supporting acid. A vibrant expression of a promising new block.
