Sailor Seeks Horse Small Wonder Pinot Noir 2024

A sense of effortless calm descends from any glass from the Sailor Seeks Horse duo. Intensely aromatic with sweet red summer fruits, tangy hedge fruits, potpourri and savoury spice. Mid weight and supple, yet there is a concentration and persistence that belies the gentle colour and cool drinkability. Firmness, just the right squeeze of skin tannins carries the flow for minutes. Such a beautiful wine.

Pinot noir from the West Tamar; matured 12 months in seasoned French oak. Mid-ruby in the glass with aromas of raspberry, red cherry and a seam of red plum. Hints of exotic spice, Chinese barbecue shop, citrus blossom and dried citrus rind, leaf litter, dried meats, crushed stone, cinnamon scroll and earth. Infection, filigreed and layered, with a chalky tannin frame and a sweep of sour cherry acidity on the finish. Beautiful, energetic drinking. 95 points – Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

Riper than previous vintages with red and blue fruits combined with hints of gamey complexity from the extended ageing in barrel. Super supple and fleshy on the palate. Certified organic grapes, D4V2 clone, unfined. Gilli and Paul Lipscombe, Sailor Seeks Horse
