Winemaker Rollin Soles hails from Australia, where grape stems are referred to as "stalks"; an illustration of him being pursued, or stalked, by the thunderbird that represents the winery appears on the label of this wine. To produce it, Soles destems whole berries into small fermenters for a ten-day soak while aging the removed stems separately for seven days under inert gas; the latter are then hand-punched into the fermenters and punched down twice a day before the gently pressed juice is transferred to French oak and matured for nine months. The resulting wine is an intensely bright, floral beauty. Cherry bark, dried roses, violets, and a zing of pink peppercorns flourish on the nose and palate. Wild strawberry, cinnamon, and tilled soil are enveloped in a distinct, stemmy mouthfeel.
James Suckling: 91 PointsFragrant nose of rose petals, raspberries, pomegranates and rhubarb. Very fresh, with a medium body and chalky tannins. Nicely mineral at the end.
Pinot Noir is a red wine grape variety that is widely considered one of the most challenging and finicky to grow. It is known for producing elegant, aromatic wines with flavors and aromas that can include red berries, cherry, floral notes, and earthy undertones. Pinot Noir is often associated with regions like Burgundy in France, where it reaches its pinnacle, producing some of the world's most sought-after and expensive wines.
