Nose
Aromatic and complex with ripe red cherry, strawberry jam, pomegranate, brown spice and attractive autumn forest and floral notes.
Palate
The palate is crisp and beautifully balanced with a mix of ripe red fruit and spice on entry, with savory tobacco and leather notes and a broad mineral texture on the mid-palate. Attractive fruit, spice and savory elements interact through the finish, framed with
wonderfully fine tannins.
Bottling
Bottled July 2016.
Winemaking
Upon arrival at the winery the fruit was hand sorted before being destemmed and placed into small open-top fermenters. Hand punch downs were performed twice daily to gently extract flavors and structure.
Aging
The various components of our Overlook Pinot Noir were then aged for 10 months in French oak (25% new) during which the winemaking team tasted and created the final blend.
Food Pairing
The 2015 Overlook Pinot Noir is an amazingly versatile food pairing wine that can be served with a diverse range of dishes from oak fire grilled salmon to grilled vegetables drizzled with olive oil, a few drops of balsamic glaze and freshly cut herbs.
