Description

An Opaque ruby colour announces the darker fruits to be found in this wine. Soft yet balanced acidity underpinning the perfume and flavours of black cherry and plum. Medium to full bodied for a Pinot, the palete is plush, gently spiced, and rich in tannins that are velvet smooth. The finish leaves a lasting impression that is gently warming and just a little earthy.
