Nice flavourful Zin. It tastes like this wine was fermented with sweet cigar tobacco. I liked it.

It’s hard not to like this wine despite its imperfections. Right from the start the colour indicates nice deep concentrated fruit. The nose offers ripe black cherry, sweet pipe tobacco, vanilla oak & herbal notes (jagermeister). The palate is silky smooth & full bodied, and even though it’s a tad loose knit, it really seems to come together on the finish with nice dry tannins. Although it gives you the impression it’s going to be a Barossa goopy jam fruit bomb, it somehow keeps itself legitimate & focused. This wine sits right on the edge of the fence for me…but since it’s so delicious, it won me over

nice pinot smells emerge, but oddly is smells a tad austere. However, the palate makes up for it. nice light summer thirst quencher.

oaky oaky oaky ...loads of vanilla/ caramel oak, tree bark, blueberry, blackberry, bramble berry and rose petal. As it develops the syrah becomes noticeable and adds a hint of meatiness & minerality. Dry and structured but finishes quite abruptly.

Light & acidic despite the warm 2010 vintage. Struggling to like this wine, i though it was going to be a game changer...sadly it's not.

Belle Glos Meiomi Pinot Noir 2011 Bottle
Belle Glos Meiomi Pinot Noir 2011

$26.95

Super silky smooth and sweet on the palate. It tastes like other varietals might have been added (Syrah???). This is an easy drinker and a crowd pleaser, but too soft and jammy to be considered a serious wine with a rating of 92pts by WS... really?
