Recreation of “Judgement of Paris II” blind Pinot tasting with the addition of a bonus wine from the Central Otago:
medium translucent ruby • a bit green, 2017 vintage was cool, reductive even after a couple of hours in the glass, bottled under screwcap • very long finish, 13.5% ABV • longtime winemaker Blair Walter uses 20-30% whole clusters • held its own in this flight but would lay down awhile and then give a long decant
