"Climatic conditions were cold, windy and wet at flowering time in November 2019. A small amount of fruit set, resulting in a small vintage. From there, the vintage progressed well for us, ending in a long, coolish and dry autumn. The small volume of fruit hung cleanly on the vines until a latish harvest in mid-March 2020. The wines were a delight to make in cool, clear and dry conditions. We rate these wines among the best we have made. The style is a return to type after the bigger wines of 2019 vintage."

2020 Lodestone Pinot Noir
Usually $79 - Special Offer $74
"Medium ruby in colour. The intense and pure nose has black cherries and cassis with crushed nuts and an overtone of sage. The luscious palate has flavours in the same fruity-nutty-herbal range and fine, soft drying tannins. A precise line of fine acidity drives the wine towards a long, flaring finish. As with all three of these wines, the oak plays only a best-supporting role."

2020 Hommage Pinot Noir
Usually $79 - Special Offer $74
"Also medium ruby. The pure, tart, wine-gummy nose has blue berries, blackberries and red currents complexed by notes of disturbed clay, charcuterie and crushed nuts. The satiny medium-weighted palate tastes intensely of those squishy fruits and also mortadella. The structure is linear and taut but not lean and is carried through by bright acidity to a persistent, fruitful, drying back palate. Interestingly, the charcuterie quality is present from start to finish"

2020 Garamond Pinot Noir
Usually $94 - Special Offer $89
"This kind of palate combines smell, taste, feel, line and length in a carefully balanced frame. I find these qualities in this Garamond. It is bright ruby in colour. The dreamy, other-worldly, red-rose of a nose has raspberries, currents, cherries and almonds with flowers and talc. The medium-weight palate has pure and intense flavours of all of the above plus a texture of silk that comes from finely-grained tannins. Racy acidity drives this energetic wine to an ultra-long, widely-flaring, contemplative coda"
