Product Description
Deep red in color. A rich and dense nose displaying dark cherry, spice and subtle mushroom characters. Ripe intense red and dark berry fruit aromas and subtle spicy oak. The taste is of concentrated ripe red fruits and fine grained tannins. The tannins give texture and persistence while the berry flavors linger. It's succulent and beautifully textured on the palate with lovely mid palate weight and fine, supple tannins. It's youthful and well flavored with a lingering delicious finish. A stylish Pinot that's sure to mature gracefully.

Winemaking
This wine is made from a blend of our old own rooted 10/5 Pinot Noir vines and newer plantings of the Dijon clones 115, 777 and 667. The growing season delivered a well ripened balanced crop that delivered good ripe phenolics and ripe generous fruit aromas and flavours. The grapes were fermented in traditionally styled open fermentation tanks. The wine was then aged in French oak casks for 12 months.
