Lowrey Vineyard St David's Bench 2015

Original Pinot Noir vineyard in Niagara, planted in 1983. Very pale ruby. Floral and gently herbal, with some fresh earth and a rich, nutty, toasty nose, with layers and depth. Black and blue fruit beneath. On the palate, liquid stones – lots of mineral sense, with brisk acidity and a linear, focused style. Quite firm, fine tannins and a long, spicy finish. This will develop as the tannins soften out.
