Loveblock is Kim Crawford’s latest endeavor and one that is a better reflection of his skill as a winemaker. This is about showcasing terroir and the quality of the fruit with techniques like a 5 day cold soak to extract colour and flavour without extracting excessive tannin, partial whole cluster fermentation, and a spontaneous cool ferment. All of that results in a delicate Pinot Noir with bright acid supporting the usual cherry, raspberry, and cranberry flavours. Theres a touch of mushroom here which is always an indicator of Pinot made thoughtfully.
