The Stonier Reserve Pinot Noir has always been a blend of our top Pinot Noir vineyards, all single releases in their own right and all located throughout the southern half of the Peninsula. The 2018 Reserve release is a blend of almost equal proportions of the Windmill, Stonier Family, Merron’s, Lyncroft and Gainsborough Park vineyards. There is an abundance of both red fruits and dark cherry on the nose with some attractive oak char. There is generous amount of tannin throughout the palate, but the depth of red and blue fruits fills the mouth and carries it, creating a nice solid direction and length. Bottled in March, 2019.
