Light garnet with Ruby tones. Medium + intensity showing classic Burgundian notes of rhubarb, violets, oyster mushrooms, cranberry, cherry, strawberries & earth tones. Lets add a classic Pine needles from Oregon style Pinots too. The taste is dry, med- tannins, med acidity, long length, med- body & well balanced. The taste is wonderful. The red berry notes from the nose are rich on the taste, and there is some spiciness on the finish that gives the wine some more complexity on the taste. The 14% alcohol is well integrated. This Pinot taste more like a $40 bottle of wine, not the usual Australian Pinot. Lightly chill this & enjoy with roasted duck.

Very nice with grilled salmon. Worth a repeat buy (or 2). Nicest Pinot I have had at this price, however I do not drink many pinot noirs.

Raspberry, spices, dark chocolate, and earthiness on the nose. Juicy and very fruity, but with slightly green tannins. Good value.

Decent Pinot for the price, noticed the colour was fading and starting to turn brick colour
