Tasting Notes

Deep red and with a purple hue. Densely fruited aromas of red cherry, cranberry and pomegranate. Sweet spice elements are interwoven beautifully with the fruit and its all framed and by some subtle stylish oak. The palate displays lashing of fruits, the full spectrum red and dark berries cascade down the mouth. Supple tannins and balanced acidity support the fruit and provide excellent length and persistence of flavour. This is a beautiful wine, layered and complex. A piece Pinot Noir of excellence
