Consistently a nice drinking, full flavoured & balanced RRS Pinot at a reasonable price
Description: Light to medium ruby in colour with a medium intense nose. This wine features pine, cranberry, crabapples, cherry, rhubarb, cinnamon, cloves and forest greens. Medium+ body with mild tannins, good acidity, a long length and the alcohol is well integrated.
Negatives: The 14.5% alcohol
Interesting Note: Slightly chill and if you can use the balloon style Pinot glass
Drink now or in the next 5-7 years on its own or pair it with Turkey Cranberry and Grilled Brie Panini.
