This is one serious Pinot that I had been dying to try after being blown away by their Chardonnay. It didn't disappoint at all. The nose is incredibly complex, with the classic red fruit (dark cherry, strawberry) to go along with meaty and savoury herbal notes and slight baking spice from the oak. It's a ripe and powerful wine, but in the most incredibly elegant manner. This is a top notch wine from an amazing producer. Grab one for tonight, then lay a few down for up to 10 years.
