Dicey Black Rabbit Pinot Noir 2019 750ML

Dicey Black Rabbit Pinot Noir 2019 750ML

2019 was a year of contrasts: frost, snow, rain, drought and wind storms. We were lucky. There was good weather during December when the vines were flowering, and a long, cool ripening period (but with frosts to keep us on our toes). Veraison took an age, which meant lots of variability in the fruit, making for tough thinning and picking decisions.
