Description
"Fabulous bouquet driven by ripeness, youth and vibrancy. Scents of ripe concentrated black cherry cushioned against a savoury-dried-herb quality giving this wine a sense of place. Other aromas include clove and baking spices of barrel, dried earth and black raspberry compote. Complex and youthful. On the palate a textured, concentrated and luscious wine with textures from polished tannins and backbone of acidity, the concentration of fruits absorb the barrel flavours well and all tannins begin to dissolve slowly on the palate. Excellent length and power. Best drinking from likely 2026 through 2036+ if stored well" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
"Dark cherry, milk chocolate, star anise, dried herbs, rosehip and a touch of earth and graphite. There's plenty of fruit but this isn't a fruity wine, rather it’s savoury and complex with many layers to explore on the smooth, supple palate. Good fruit concentration and sandy tannins. A harmonious, calm wine, all nicely together but with a sense of place and character" Emma Jenkins, Master of Wine
"Perfumed wholebunch, stemmy, aromatic, quite complex. Energetic fruit with floral nuances over juicy, ripe fruit which enters red and finishes black. Good concentration and quite plush; an accessible and user-friendly style which nonetheless has density to benefit from ageing" Stephen Wong, The Real Review
A wine with great personality, borne of small things done beautifully. The 2021 Calvert Pinot Noir is dark ruby red in colour. The nose is dominated by lively savoury characters of dried thyme and cinnamon spice. This leads into a wine with silky textured smooth tannins. Dark berry fruits and robust earthy flavours lead to a smooth lengthy finish on the palate. 2021 was a great growing season. The grapes ripened well and the fruit harvested resulted in a strong concentrated structural wine. Organic grapes.
