Eastern Peake Original Block Pinot Noir 2022

$125.00

Sourced from the estate’s 1983 plantings, with only one barrel produced (a mere 22 dozen released to the public). The linger of flavour here is excellent. This pinot noir puts some runs on the board and then some. It’s an earthen, spicy, cherry-and-strawberry-accented wine, with cedarwood oak, mint and sweetly extravagant herb notes pulsing throughout. A wine of poise and silk, the flourish of the finish the absolute confirmation of its quality. 95 points – Halliday Wine Companion

 

This cuvée is sourced from the original 1983 plantings of Pinot Noir (all MV6 Clone). Only a few separate bottling of this have been available since 2010, 2013, 2015 & 2020 formerly known as OB Terroir, it was time to simplify its identity to Original Block (as its the original block).
