Description
"Lodestone is the warmest of the single vineyards, and is always harvested first. Accordingly, the wine can be powerful and concentrated, but not coarse or extracted. Its four clones enhance its natural complexity. Lodestone is earthy to the nose and sweet to the palate. It is usually moreish and satisfying. The fruit is darker in character than Hommage and Garamond, and the tannins more evident, reflecting the heavier, rockier, clayey soil. There is often a hint of dried sage." - Winemaker Notes
"Medium-light riuy/brick-red colour; the bouquet is very foresty, savoury, underbrush and humus, leaf litter and flake tobacco. Ethereal faded flowers. In the mouth, it's fine and firm, light to medium bdied and yet has good intensity and focus in the middle palate, the fnish cleansed by balanced, drying tannins. Lovely flavour in a more savoury style of Pinot." - 92 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
