Terra Sancta's 2016 Jackson's Block Pinot Noir is on the medium-bodied, elegant side, especially considering the warmth of the vintage. Black cherries and plums are wrapped in a swathe of silky tannins and are matched by hints of rose petals and a touch of cranberry on the finish. It's a pretty wine, one sure to impress fans of finesse rather than power.

Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2012 Jackson's Block Pinot Noir has a gamey nose with a core of raspberry and blueberry preserves plus hints of violets and fennel seed. Medium bodied and with great grace in the mouth, the delicately perfumed red fruits are framed by silky tannins, finishing with great persistence.
