Pale to medium ruby in the glass, the 2017 Pinot Noir Reed Vineyard, aged 17 months in 30% new French oak, has a very pretty nose of prosciutto, pepper, autumn leaves, rooibos tea leaves, dust and graphite with wild blackberries and earthy notions in the undercurrent. The palate is light to medium-bodied, intense and layered with finely grained tannins and juicy freshness, finishing layered. 549 cases produced.
