2017 Sinapius La Clairiere Single Vineyard Close Planted Pinot Noir

Wow. This is really something. The fruit comes from the newest highdensity planting of seven clones, each vine producing less than 1kg, hand-picked, 3-week whole berry wild ferment, matured in French barriques for 18 months. Slightly lighter and with more juicy red fruit notes. 97 points, drink to 2037, 13.5% alc, screwcap, $68; tasted 30.1.2020
