Tasting Notes
The 2019 Churchside pinot from Closson Chase is a supremely delicate and lacy wine, fine-grained and silky, a really beguiling texture overall. I love the refinement allied to genuine depth and deceptive power - the finish here really hangs on; wood is very nicely integrated. This vineyard gains in stature with each passing vintage, bubbling up to the top of the Closson pinot range in my view. On the technical side it's fully destemmed but not crushed, and given a 3-5 day cold soak before fermenting in large oak. It's then transferred to barrique for 18 months, of which 20% were new. A mix of classic red with some darker berry fruit character expands the usual county range, perfectly ripe at just 12.2% alcohol, while wood remains a very subtle flavour influence. County magic. Score - 94. (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com, Oct. 2021)
