Sato's finest Pinot Noir. 25% whole bunch, 28-32 days on skins.

Matured 22 months in French oak barrels, 16% new oak.

Lightness, restraint and tight, fine acidity belie a complexity that sneaks up on the palate - firm, dark fruits with a herbal, coffee undercurrent. The finish is incredibly long and satisfying. 

Excellent and youthful in the glass now, this will benefit even more from time in the cellar.
