|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varietal | Pinot Noir | |||
| Region | South Africa: Hemel-En-Aarde | |||
| Notes | "Tart red cherries, more sous-bois notes, tertiary instead of fruit-driven. The palate is more promising – the tannins are quite svelte with lively strawberry and raspberry flavors, with a slight oatmeal note coming in towards the harmonious vintage." (Wine Advocate) "Very stylish and alluring, with blood orange, singed cinnamon, dark tea and lightly mulled cherry fruit notes weaving together, laced with a tangy mineral echo that stretches out the finish. Drink now through 2016. 2,000 cases imported." (Wine Spectator) | |||
