This could pass for a $50 Burgundian Pinot, truly delicious
Description: Light garnet in colour with a medium+ intense nose. This complex wine features barnyard smells, pine, dark cherries, raspberry, rhubarb, pinenuts, beets, a touch of Christmas cake, forest moss and smoked ambers. Medium body with light tannins, good acidity and a long length.
Negatives: Surprisingly, there’s some heat from only 13% alcohol
Interesting Point: Lightly chill
Drink now on its own or in the next 5 years on its own or pair it with Balsamic Cherry and Thyme Glazed Duck Breast.

Out of 5 stars, I rated this wine: 4.5
Cherry red. Beautiful redcurrant, flowers, spice, earth, and sandalwood on the nose. Juicy, light, and quite complex. A touch of bitterness detracts but very fine overall. 17/20
