Torch Bearer Earthian Pinot Noir 2020

This is the first release Earthian by Torch Bearer with specially selected parcels of fruit being wild fermented and matured in old French barrels for 24 months which has created a textural and savoury style Pinot Noir. Black cherry flavours and wild black berries provide the primary fruit characteristics with a complex and rather unique mid palate of wild undergrowth, brown mushrooms, walnuts, fennel and dried sage, which then finished with spiced and firmly grained tannins. I found that the more I went back tasting this wine, the more it revealed new characters, making this wine super interesting as well. It benefits from Decanting as well.
