The 2014 Red Hills Estate Pinot Noir spent 13 months in 47% new French barrels, including 9% whole cluster fruit. It has a well-defined bouquet with scents of blackberry, huckleberry, a little undergrowth and truffle. The palate is medium-bodied with good density, the tannins a little finer than say the 2012. There is a slight salinity here, more spice than the 2014 Renegade Ridge (cardamom and cumin), and it comes with a pleasingly persistent finish. Give this 12-24 months in bottle before broaching.
