TASTING NOTES

A delicious Hills pinot, a new breed of unicorn. Rhubarb, fecund strawberry, orange pastille and red licorice notes are compressed into a gentle ball of tension by well placed oak and juicy, sappy freshness. A touch of dill hints at some whole bunches in the mix. The finish, crunchy, finessed and vibrant. Delicious drinking across the early to mid term. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
