This international experience is the founding inspiration for this husband-and-wife team..

The Escaroth Vineyard Pinot Noir from the Taylor Pass is made with high percentages of whole cluster to enhance aromatics and provide all important structure and tannic complexity. A beguiling, complex perfume of peony and violets, red cherry and pomegranate, overlaid with an enchanting spice, game and earthy savouriness. The low-yielding 2019 vintage resulted in a wine of incredible concentration and intensity, with innate muscular tannin structure that ensures it will age very well.
