Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Cherry red in colour with an undeniable nose of Pinot Noir, ripe cherry and liquorice. Balanced, harmonious and supple on the finish.
Ratings
Allen Meadows, Burghound: 86pts.
A notably ripe nose of plum and dark berry fruit liqueur leads to earth-suffused, rich and rather suave middle weight flavors that offer good flesh and extract on the somewhat short and flat finish. Could this sense of fatigue be from the recent bottling? 86/2014+

Winemaker Notes
Traditional open vat fermentation followed by 10 to 12 months ageing in oak casks.
