Apr 1st, 2014Nice clear pinot colour and clean bright fruit nose. Red cherry and also something darker, perhaps damson, but remains floral rather than really dark and plummy. Feels light and carries 14% well, just expressed with strawberry and peppers at the end. There's a richness to this all the way through that I have to be in the mood for, but beautifully made wine.
