Burn Cottage Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020
DOZEN: $1,188.00 or $99.00 each
It feels like a whole life ago I stood at the original Burn Cottage vineyard and looked at its verdant glory – early days, but geez, the wildlife, the flowers, the bees and insects and hairy staff (aside Claire Mulholland), it had it all. And still does. I cruised past the Sauvage vineyard today en route to home base and was glad to see furry grasses and vines akimbo. Anyways, here we go.
It’s tightly wound and cinched with fine, silty tannins. Perfume is a little mute, but that’s ok, dark cherry, a bit of flinty minerality, new leather, kirsch and dark chocolate apparent. Flavours similar but strongly minerally, briny acidity a feature, orangey acidity and a cool breeze of bergamot piquancy-bitterness in the mix. Succulent as all get out too, kinda refreshing all up. A beauty. MIKE BENNIE
