About this Item
2016 Nom Pinot Noir
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Winemakers personal tasting note:
'The wine shows red cherry fruit, strawberries, spice, fresh moist forest floor, "garrigue" (wild herbs) and a slight umami savour. On the pallet it offers juicy fine tannin with a silky finish. It drinks beautifully now. Only five barrels produced. Drink now - 2025.' - Jessica Saurwein

Critics Ratings
Saurwein mentioned on the cover page of January's Decanter issue amongst:
"Top 50 most exciting Wines of 2018":
- "Pale, delicate and scented with cool earth and soft rosehip. Mellow strawberry fruit and a dusting of fresh summer earth." - 93/100 points by Oz Clarke
- "Very pale Pinot but not in the least pale in flavour. Bursting with cherry juice, enriched with cocoa and fine herbs. Long, juicy finish. A very popular style." - 92/100 points Sarah Jane Evans MW
- "Gentle pomegranate aromas. Quite lean and tart cranberry and sour cherry fruit on the palate, with high acidity and a leafy edge. Firm, subtle and savoury." - 90/100 points Tina Gellie
