Description
96 Points, JamesSuckling.com "Vibrant red fruit and lovely tension here, showing layers of cranberries, fresh cherries and wet stones with an earthy, reductive and gamy undertone. The palate is bright and crunchy with fine-tuned acidity and tannins, leading to a mouthwatering finish. By no means whimsical, this has classic pinot nuance yet is so enjoyable now. Drink or hold." - Ryan Montgomery, Oct 2026
The Bindi Dixon Pinot Noir is based upon declassified grapes from the Original Vineyard planted in 1988 and grapes from the new Block K, planted in 2001. The ideal of this wine is to produce a delicious, perfumed, spicy harmonious, textured wine that is not as intense, complex nor ageworthy as our individual vineyard wines. Even when the outstanding Block K vines are older we will continue to declassify sections or barrels from each vineyard and produce this wine.
The wine is fermented the same way as our other Pinot Noirs in that it is ostensibly 100% de-stemmed and gently worked in small open vats. The wine spends 11 months in French barrels, of which about 10-15% is new. This wine was formerly called Bindi Composition Pinot Noir.
