Quartz Reef Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018

The 2018 Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is a terrific effort, marrying attractive floral and tea-like aromas with bright raspberry and cherry fruit. It's medium to full-bodied but seems lighter and fresher because the flesh is wrapped within a sleeve of crisp acids, containing and buttressing it, focusing it into a prolonged finish. Despite the warm vintage, this is impeccably balanced, with the ability to age well for a decade. - Joe Czerwinski. 

Always intense and ripe, this has a mix of red-cherry, dark-cherry, currant and black-tea aromas with a dusting of spice and earthy, sappy aromas, as well as violets. The palate has a super fresh, layered and succulent feel with such juicy, soft and supple tannins, wrapped into a smooth framework. Vibrant finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Strong ruby in colour with purple reflections and a delicate, watery rim. Inviting dark berry aromas have a floral touch, with a hint of candied violets, subtle dried spices like thyme and lemon balm, as well as red cherries and raspberries in the background. Taut and elegant, it shows good complexity and a finesse-rich structure, and is carried by ripe, delicately chalky tannins. There is both a fine sweetness and a savoury touch to the finish. Excellent length. (Drink now until 2040)߭.
