The 2023 Spire represents the pinnacle of Pinot Noir from the upper slopes of Tai Vineyard. The cool vin-tage and late harvest bring a unique depth to this wine, enhancing its bold style. Aromas of rose petals, dark plum, and black cherry draw you in, while the palate is rich and inviting, layered with blue-black fruits, raspberry, and blackberry. Notes of clove and sandalwood add warmth, leading to a seductive finish of toffee and supple, sweet tannins.
