Pyramid Valley Vineyards 'Angel Flower' Pinot Noir 2020
The Angel Flower Pinot Noir is a wine that eloquently tells the story of its home every year.
This is the finer-boned of the twin Pyramid Valley Pinot Noirs, it's a thing of beauty when on song.
It's a delicate Pinot Noir, built around complexity and nuance rather than out and out power. The fruit is all destemmed by hand, a laborious process that ensures only the very best pristine fruit makes its way from the vineyard to bottle.
The word 'ethereal' gets thrown around in wine more than it should, but it's more than apt when describing this particular wine.
Shorthorn Porterhouse
Moderate red cherry, clear and bright in the glass. Haunting aromas that are difficult to place, cherry pastries, wild forest in the summer, red clover, lavender fields.
Autumn raspberries, early season red cherries, blood orange, hints of clove and nutmeg, and the warmth of summer berries, pastry and a savoury twist from the forest; long graceful and powerful; the consummate iron fist in a silk glove; sensational.
