The dolomite series was started as a way to show off the mineral rich soil the Cave Spring grapes were growing in … to me that led to a Pinot Noir that just seemed almost a tad too lean. Now comes the 2010, a hot vintage wine that has put some of the flavour back into the bottle. Nose has got typical Pinot character: earthy, cranberry, raspberry and strawberry – while the palate is still mineral driven, but the hot vintage has added the dimension of red berries on the mid-palate before turning more acid-driven with cranberry-strawberry notes.
