Bryterlater Ernest Pinot Noir 2020

DESCRIPTION

Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"Able clone. The basis of this wine is the synergy between alcoholic and carbonic fermentation. Carbonic fermentation (think Beaujolias) achieves the lifted aromas of maraschino cherry, clove. The synergy creates a lovely silky, supple texture. 10% foot crush, 20% hand destemmed, 70% whole bunch. Basket pressed. Bottled February 2021.

Mineral. Cherry. Sweet salty licorice. Raspberry. Soft tannin. Brooding."

93/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, June 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"This is sappy and tense, fresh and lively. Sour cherry, pomegranate juice, a bit of clove spice here. Washes around the palate nicely, some grippy webs of tannin, a bright, lightly amaro-tinged finish. Feels refreshing and kinda elegant. Has some good mojo. Great drinking, is the easy take away message."
