This is a BIG Pinot. Big, fruit dominated nose, with a little herbal spice on the back end, with hints of black olive and rose permeating throughout. Big palate and body, with an herbal, hay or thyme palate, tannic, with a salinity thatβs prominent, with black olive, some tar, and even a smokiness hitting the end, with dark cherry, plum, and a peppery spice showing up loud on the palate. Really good entry to South African Pinot. β 7 months ago
Strong on the nose. Rich, leathery tannins.
Black fruit, lots of good structure and a long chocolately finish. A gasoline note exists which is very inviting.
Juicy baby!

This is nice. It tastes like one of those glou-glou Cab Francs from the Loire. Itβs light. Itβs a little simple. But itβs delicious and super refreshing with a light chill. Iβm not sure if Iβd pair it with Sunny Day Real Estate, as suggested on the label, but it was good with a burger. β a year ago
