2013 Eyrie Pinot Noir South Block Reserve

From 1975 until 2007, David Lett made a South Block Reserve from a parcel of vines that started showing signs of phylloxera, and so with that demise in mind, Jason is reviving the label because he believes there could be only around ten years left. The 2013 Pinot Noir South Block Reserve has a very refined, delineated bouquet with precise red cherry, crushed strawberry, bergamot and vanilla pod scents given lift by the prudent 25% new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a keen line of acidity, an impressive tensile structure that delivers plenty of mineralité on the sustained finish. It is a complex wine that should age with style and panache.
