Stellar Pinot Noir from a Californian legend

  • A complex, savoury wine with spiced cherry, redcurrant and herbal notes.
  • Twenty two months in French oak barrels contribute notes of bitter chocolate and vanilla, together with a smoothness of texture.
  • The use of twenty percent whole-cluster contributes herbal, anise flavours.
  • This wine was named after the late legendary owner and winemaker Jim Clendenen's son.
  • A tight, focused style of wine with incredible aging potential if you have the patience!

"Astounding depth and flavour with baked cherry peel and liquorice - a Cote de Nuits style". 90 Points - Robert Parker.
