Vergence Pinot Noir 2021 750ml

Vergence is all about looking beyond tradition, and our Mark II is certainly that.  After careful consideration, we decided upon a red blend from our 2021 vintage, comprising principally of Pinot Noir, but also including a portion of Cabernet Sauvignon.

The wine has an intriguing deep ruby hue.  Its bouquet assails from the glass, first red fruit on attack, followed by a spicy, oak-laced underbelly.  Impressions of cranberries and pomegranate flirt temptingly with darker notes of blackcurrant and blackberries, wrapped in a quilt of vanilla, cinnamon, liquorice, black pepper, and a hint of aniseed.  Whisps of leather and toasted hay complete the allure.  The palate is elegantly structured, with simmering tension.  Generously laden fruit weight is contrasted against ripe developed tannins and an underlying phenolic drive.  The mouthfeel is rich and full bodied, with a prolonged and rewarding finish.  While displaying classic Pinosity, this wine has been crafted to offer added depth, vigour, and a touch of brawn.
