When first poured the first thing you notice is the colour - light & pale, it almost looks like a children's diluted squash drink so somewhat perplexed as what to expect. Have no fear - this Pinot-Noir is a delight! Lovely cranberry, strawberry and pomegranate tones with a crush of tobacco leaf, cloves, a pinch of white pepper and earthiness on the palate. Medium bodied, red fruit, well oaked, balanced, long fruity aftertaste, complex aftertaste. Great stuff - just enjoy!
