This Pinot Noir is a vibrant cherry colour, exuding an aroma of sweet raspberry complimented with sweet and spicy oak, just hinting at the layers and depth of fresh and fruity flavour. Bright and energetic to taste, it is brimming with red fruit and soft, supple tannins, perfectly seasoned with a dash of oak for those light toasty notes. For the finale is a fresh, lingering finish that is simply moreish. It’s delicious right now, but shorter term cellaring, say 3 years, will add to the complexity and interest of this wine.
Pour yourself a glass of this Pinot, throw some lightly seasoned steak on the BBQ with some capsicum and flame to perfection. Sip, eat and repeat!
