Sailor Seeks Horse Dijon Clones Pinot Noir 2022

The Sailor Seeks Horse Dijon Clone Pinot Noir 2022, crafted from a blend of 777, 115, and 114 clones, offers an enticing bouquet of dark cherries, raspberries, and violets, with subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and well-structured, featuring vibrant red and dark berry flavors, complemented by hints of spice and a touch of vanilla from the 24% new oak. The wine underwent the same meticulous fermentation process as the main blend but without whole bunch inclusion, resulting in a pure and focused expression. The finish is smooth and lingering, with fine tannins and a balanced acidity, showcasing the elegance and depth of Tasmanian Pinot Noir.
