2020 Luna Eclipse Pinot Noir

The 2020 vintage for Luna Eclipse Pinot Noir was highly promising, with successful flowering and a long, dry ripening season, though water stress appeared in some blocks due to the dry conditions. Harvest took place from March 15-30 at Eclipse Vineyard, with fruit primarily from the 1992 Pinot Noir plantings. Fermentation included de-stemming and whole berry preservation, with some whole bunch fermentation. The wine underwent a slow fermentation, followed by 12 months of maturation in French oak (20% new) and 7 months in tank. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulphur additions.

Other Reviews....
Strawberry pie with some crushed stone and minerality on the palate. Medium to full body. Focused and precise. A little subdued at the finish but it should open up nicely. Drink or hold.
