Summer Dreams Stargazing Pinot Noir

When we think of Turtle Doves, we think of something vibrant, dainty. A little like this cherry pie wine brings. A vibrant and complex wine with a very easy going luxury taste. You have to taste this, to get this.

2021

Lisa Perrotti-Brown 95: The 2021 Stargazing Pinot Noir is medium ruby-purple in color. The nose opens with evocative notes of cranberry sauce, redcurrant jelly, and stewed rhubarb followed by nuances of lavender and underbrush. The full-bodied palate is electric with energy, delivering bursts of red berries, earthy accents, and floral notes framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and a racy backbone, finishing long and tingly.

Decanter 95: The colour of a polished ruby stone harbours a cooling richness framed by mineral freshness, spices, and perfectly integrated tannins. Splashes of elegant red berry fruit intermix with sandalwood and cedar while a cacophony of cream red and black fruit layers linger and build on the full-bodied finish, which is fresh and full of juicy blood orange acidity – a complete and delicious wine from Jayson Woodbridge. Ashley Holland, a protégé of Bob Cabral, works in the cellar and focuses primarily on the white wines of Summer Dreams. A 100% Pinot Noir from West Sonoma Coast, with whole berries fermented in open-top tanks and puncheons with a mix of Demptos, Taransaud, and Cavin barrels and bottled unfined.
