Escarpment Kiwa Pinot Noir 2020, Martinborough
Distinctive earthy mineral qualities then red berry fruits followed by a powerful core scent of hard clay and tilled soil combinations then scents of dried herb and barrel. Red fruit flavours along with a coarse silk texture touch the palate first then cherry and barrel spices, baking spices suggesting cinnamon and vanilla then a touch of clove. Dry with fine needle point tannins, medium+ acid line and a lengthy complex finish. A wine to cellar and consider tasting again from 2024 through 2034+.
