Walter Scott, Combe Verte Pinot Noir

Walter Scott, Combe Verte Pinot NoirThe 2022 Pinot Noir La Combe Verte was sourced from vineyards planted on both volcanic and sedimentary soils, including Distraction, Freedom Hill, Sojeau, Temperance Hill and Witness Tree. Matured for 10 months in 25% new French oak, it opens with flinty reduction that gives way to cranberry, pomegranate, raspberry, forest floor and bitters. The palate offers bright, spicy red fruit, tea textured tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, pure finish.
