Cristom Louise Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021
Beschrijving
Cristom Lousie Vineyard Pinot Noir is vernoemd naar de overgrootmoeder van Tom Gerrie, de wijnbouwer en eigenaar van Cristom, Louise Dinkelspiel. De druiven komen uit het hart van de wijngaard, een dicht beplant perceel dat jaar na jaar veel rode vruchten voortbrengt. De groene tonen van de wijn, misschien het gevolg van 44% gisting op de druiventrossen, verdwijnen zachtjes tijdens het proeven

Also pouring a deep ruby hue, the 2021 Pinot Noir Louise Vineyard is floral and fruity initially on opening and has a delicate warming feel, with notes of cardamom, Asian spice, mixed red and black berries, wet stone, and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, it’s generous and inviting right out of the gate, although it will do well over the coming 8-10 years and should develop more umami richness and savory nature. Right now, it’s rather primary, although it’s well-balanced and has a great finish, with velvety tannins and even-keeled acidity.
The 2021 Pinot Noir Louise Vineyard was fermented with 46% whole clusters, and the wine matured for 18 months in 38% new French oak. It has intense aromas of cranberry sauce, pomegranate and orange peel, plus nuances of black tea and forest floor. The light-bodied palate is chalky and fresh with understated fruit and a long, spicy finish. 786 cases were made.
The Louise Vineyard is about 10% warmer than Jessie, and it also sees less wind, so these vines have life a little easier and as such, you see that in the wine's opulence. Aromas of dark bramble berries, black plum skin, and touches of savoury spice. The palate shows flashes of black tea, clove and rose hips alongside early-season blackberries. This site has a lot of geological complexity, and this structured Pinot will go the distance.
Very pretty nose of jasmine, white rosemary, acacia, white peaches, pears, pie crust, cloves and lemons. Aromatically complex, with elegant and light-footed layers. Medium-bodied. Tight and bright. Drink or hold.
