Drummond Farm Pinot Noir 2017, Martinborough

Varietal, inviting and immediate aromas of Pinot Noir with scents of red cherry and plum, roses and autumn. The oak signature suggests a sweet vanilla with a soft smoky note then brown spice. On the palate - showing complexity and finesse, personality and charm. A specific expression with reflections of site and and soil - silt and small pebbles - then style with an ‘old-school’ French ‘Village’ level feel. Finally, a dried herb, cherry and red apple flavour brings me back to the beginning again. Balanced and ready to drink from today and through 2024.
