I’ve talked about the wines of Theo Coles here before on this blog<\/a>. His brand is The Hermit Ram (although he also works on other projects), and the other night at Scotch we had this: the latest release of his Pinot Noir. I see that I scored the 2016 the same, but this 2017 may be even better, and I really like it. I had it again a couple of days ago, and it may become one of those wines that I have quite frequently at Scotch (like the Vajra Barbera, Souhaut’s Souteronne and the Mount Edward Gamay).<\/p>\n

The Hermit Ram Pinot Noir Whole Bunch 2017 North Canterbury, New Zealand<\/strong>
\nReally fresh, vivid and crunchy with a sappy edge to the bright cherry and plum fruit. There\u2019s a lovely undergrowth edge and some greenness but it has integrated really well. So vivid and bright and drinkable but with seriousness too. It has elements of Gamay but also hints of northern Rh\u00f4ne. 93\/100<\/p>\n
