“The 2021 Pinot Noir Maverick Vineyard entices with its smoldering blend of minty herbs, crushed stones, blackberries and cooling smoke. Plush yet energetic and packed full of dark red and black fruits, this excels with its wiry acidity and contrasting hints of sour citrus, keeping the palate fully engaged. It's structured, leaving a complex web of grippy tannins as violet and lavender inner florals slowly fade. The potential here is fantastic, yet patience will be required.”
