2023 Mayer 'Bloody Hill' Pinot Noir Cottanera It's certainly not for thoseThe 2023 Bloody Hill Pinot Noir leads with a bloody, almost meaty nose of game, sweet roasted marrow, black cherry and strawberry top. In the mouth, the wine is fine boned and taut, with sour cherry, tobacco, a hint of maraschino and brine.

There's an ultra attractive forest floor character here that feels like it will evolve and age
