Rockburn Eleven Barrels; the name says it all really. Every year we fill hundreds of French oak barrels with Pinot Noir; and every year I search for those individual barrels that most eloquently speak of site and season and most about Pinot Noir; subtlety; elegance and personality
The Eleven Barrels Pinot Noir is a single vineyard wine displaying the power; generosity and intensity. Dark and moody; the Eleven Barrels displays notes of black cherry; thyme and ripe plum; with an expressive nose and plush tannins on the palate. With the fine balance of ripe fruit; natural acidity and mineral tension this wine truly represents the Pisa sub-region and its complex nature. Expect to see this youthful wine transform and evolve over a decade or more; please be aware a fine deposit may occur as a result of our minimal handling philosophy.
