Black Estate Home Pinot Noir 2022

94 POINTS: Cam Douglas MS

Deep ruby hue. Aromas of blackcurrant, charcoal, cinnamon, and thyme. The palate has density and structure typical of Pinot Noirs from the Home vineyard. Emerging flavours of plum, raspberry, red cherry and clove.

"A youthful and vibrant bouquet of dark cherry and spiced plums are laced with dried herbs and a natural savoury complexity. As the wine touches the palate the textures from tannins and place are captured first with a firm youthful grip accentuated by acidity and freshness then a stony clay soil quality. Fruit flavours mirror the bouquet then spices from barrel and fruit. A firm dry wine with plenty of youthful textures, ripe fruits and a lengthy finish. Complexity is building yet, a wine that needs maturing time with best drinking likely from 2027 through 2037+"
