RATINGS

92Wine Spectator

Very refined, with bergamot and rooibos tea notes, followed by silky cherry, mulled strawberry and cinnamon flavors at the core. Delivers a long, elegant, mineral-infused finish. Seductive.

90The Wine Advocate

...crushed strawberry and red currant scents intermingling with warm gravel, fennel and fynbos...palate is well-balanced though does not quite possess the finesse of previous vintages...savory finish comes through with some style and lingers nicely in the mouth.

90Wine Enthusiast

...red currant and strawberry hull aromas on the nose of this wine, alongside additional hints of sweet smoke, cured meat and fennel fronds...palate offers riper notes of red cherry and plum, with touches of cinnamon and thin mint in the background...plush and velvety, with fine yet present tannins and ample acidity.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
