The longer this Pike & Joyce Vie Du Nord Pinot Noir sat in the glass, the more I leaned in. It's a quality Pinot at the price point.
A blend of five clones, each parcel was wild yeast fermented before seeing eight months in a combination of new and seasoned French oak.
Strawberries, red cherries and sour cherries meet twigs, pine needles, sauteed mushrooms and roasted tomatoes. Dried sage and thyme add further savoury appeal. But the key is to let it unfurl and show its true persona. Ripples of spice wash through late rounding out a comfortable ride that offers an enjoyable drinking experience. Tick.
Drink to five years.
