Crittenden Cri de Coeur Pinot Noir

Cri de Coeur Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir 2018 - Rating 95
A complex equation of Pommard, Dijon 114, 115, a sparkling clone and the Aussie battle axe MV6; fermented wild in open top
fermenters with a whack of 50% whole-cluster, prior to 11 months in assorted French oak formats (25% new). The result? The intensity
of fruit and herbal dill spike from the whole-bunch quotient is still unresolved. Yet the sappy length, curl of structural authority and
carnal desire in the berry scents and forest floor whiff strongly suggest that this wine will age beautifully with a strident confidence.
