Cap Maritime Pinot Noir 2019

Now into its third vintage, this is sweet and spicy, with a combination of partial whole bunch fermentation and 50% new wood. Made from the Dijon clones 113 and 115, it’s savoury and earthy with some oak sweetness, medium-weight tannins and some underlying grip. 2022-25.

Ripe red cherry, mulberry and macerated strawberry form the core of this rich, fruit-forward wine, with additional notes of sweet wood spice and pie that add decadence. The medium-weight mouth is plush and textured all at once, with more ripe fruit flavors and baking spice tones that yield an impression of cherry pie and baked bramble-berry tart. Medium acidity and fine tannins lend support to the rich mouthfeel and provide framework through the enduring close. Drink now—2026.

Aromas of dark raspberries, cherries, dried flowers, smoke and dried spices. It’s medium-bodied with sleek tannins. Vibrant and textured with a dark, mineral character on the finish. Drink now.

Rich with aromas and flavors of wood smoke, this bright, medium- to full-bodied red layers grippy, chalk-tinged tannins with a core of crushed cherry and black raspberry fruit and enticing notes of rose hip, stemmy herb, cedar and sandalwood. A savory version, tightly-meshed and fresh. Give it some time in the cellar or decant to let it shine. Best from 2023 through 2029.

Starting with a classic ruby core, the 2019 Pinot Noir opens with soft, red-berried aromas of cranberry, wild strawberry and a soft undertone of dried herbs, cinnamon and baking spices. Medium-bodied, the wine is bright and juicy with a mouth-watering, energetic acidity mid-palate. A balanced structure with lifting tannins follows, ending with a winding and evolving conclusion. Twenty-five percent whole cluster grapes underwent spontaneous fermentation in concrete vessels before being racked into 40% new French oak and allowed to rest for 15 months. Only 2,400 bottles were made.
