Fermented and hand-plunged in open top wooden fermenters (expensive), this was then aged for 18 months in about 40% new French oak (also expensive), and has been kept in bottle for an extra three years, just to hit prime drinking (not usually a free service). So now you get the chance to try this agd release of Escarpment’s Insight Series. The ’12 Kiwa comes from 29 year old vines, and with extra age now has expressive mushroomy earthiness to match its exuberant florals. As with all Escarpment pinots, there’s a graphitey line of structure that bolts it all together into a fascinating, long dinner-worthy package. Scale this Escarpment and post on social. Make friends jealous. It’s only fair.
