Scorpo ‘Eocene ‘Original Vineyard’ Pinot Noir 2021

100% MV6 Pinot Noir from Paul Scorpo’s original (1997) plantings. The 2021 Eocene MV6 clone Pinot Noir was hand-picked on March 20, 2021 and prosessed the following day. It
was left on skin for 23 days and cold soaked for 4 days. 15% whole bunch, and fermented in concrete with wild yeast. There’s 25% new oak, and it did not undergo any filtration. It was bottled Feb 2, 2022.

A striking wine that reflects power and grace. The nose sings with raspberries, red currents, plums, cranberries, as these fruits sit above a generous presence of toast and graphite, then all this balanced out with a gentle touch of roses and jasmine. The palate is plush, exhibiting intense fresh raspberries, cherries and boysenberries whilst again combining muscle and grace. Abundant velvet tannins, connected by a farm acid line and supreme length drive this wine home with every detail is in its right place. – Paul Scorpo
