Pinot Noir
2020
Ivan Sutherland et James Healy, l’ancien viticulteur en chef (Sutherland) et œnologue (Healy) du célèbre domaine Cloudy Bay, à Marlborough, sont deux des viticulteurs les plus influents de la Nouvelle-Zélande. De pair avec le légendaire vigneron Kevin Judd, ils ont permis à Cloudy Bay de s’imposer en tant qu’icône du Nouveau Monde et le domaine produisait l’un des vins les plus en vogue pendant les années 1990.

Ripe cherries, red plums, raspberries, baking spices and dried flowers on the nose. Medium-to full-bodied with fresh acidity and a velvety texture. Structured and chalky. Flavorful finish with excellent length. A couple of years of bottle age will make this even better, but it’s delicious already.

Medium to deep ruby-purple in color, the 2012 Pinot Noir opens to a lovely core of red and black cherry fruits accented with hints of violets, lavender, forest floor and mossy bark. Medium-bodied, it has a solid backbone of grainy tannins and lively acid supporting the muscular berry and earthy flavors. It finishes long and clean.

My favorite Dog Point Pinot Noir to date, the 2019 is seductive and savory, While transparent, it shows the depth of color so typical of this small-berried, high-anthocyanin vintage. Sourced from the clay-loam slopes of the southern valleys, this offers a full, ripe style, plush texture and rounded tannins that are almost cocoa-powdery, with log-fire-like smoky notes derived from 18 months in French oak. A portion of whole clusters in the ferment (30%) brings a lifted floral character to meet the cherry and plum flavors. The lengthy finish provides a fragrant, complex conclusion.

The 2020 Pinot Noir is lithe and lean, with very fine exotic spice (star anise, fennel, et al.) and dark fruit in the mouth. This lingers as it quietly unfurls with nuance and detail in spades. This is lovely, elegant, restrained and very good. It’s not loud and will age brilliantly. There are sour red cherries, pomegranate molasses, white pepper, matcha and flowers—all wonderful things—with tobacco to close. As mentioned, it will age beautifully and will only increase in amplitude and complexity. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
