It is said that Pinot Noir has no individual varietal character of its
own but, is rather characterized by the soil on which it grows. Essentially
it is the most terroir specific varietal of all. Our Tête de Cuvée label
signifies my creative opportunity to select a handful of the finest
barrels in the cellar and blend these to acquire a wine which will
portray the best of the vintage. This only happens in years of outstanding
overall quality.
Vintage 2007 presented a small crop of first class grapes. Rich full
wines emerged with excellent early drinking expression. This blend
of only twelve barrels is opulent and full of red cherry & blackberry
fruit with also a hint of plum and underlying vanilla, all combining
to provide an orchestra of flavour. Great architecture with excellent
structural balance of acidity and fine tannins. It will age for
5 - 7 years!
