The wine is a limpid light raspberry color and emits a heady perfume of rose petals, rose hips, lavender, potpourri, and sandalwood. The texture crystalline, a wash of bright red fruit with accents of dried berries and flowers, all carried on supple tannins. Extremely elegant, almost ethereal, this is a Pinot Noir for those who seek a fine balance between ripeness and restraint.

This balanced pinot noir is magical, and it tastes fantastic. I remember when my best mate bought me a drink of this for the first time. It was a great experience for me, and I still remember it to this day.
Greg, thank you for reading and for sharing your experience of this wine.
