Cloudsley Glen Elgin Pinot Noir 2020

The Glen Elgin Vineyard was planted in 1996 with clone 115 and sees 20% new oak. It has a delicate nose of perfumed dark cherries, brambly wild raspberries, a touch of anise, and earthy/spicy notes. There’s more complexity on the palate with the full range of red berries, cassis, earthy/savoury notes, a bit of a spicy edge, smooth tannins, and a long, bright finish. Cellar 6+ years.
