Solid juice. Lighter than expected. Delicate and tasty.

Light color and tannin, and a bit pronounced on alcohol. Brimming with red fruit and a slight earthy stink. This is a sexy style but somewhat lacking for substance.

Rather attractive, smoke & roses nose but the red fruit is far too bitter for my taste and palate is super taught. (Love their Chardonnay though)

Maybe the best Pinot noir from South Africa! Drank it with peppered springbok with my lovely wife at French Connection in Franschhoek

A bit candied, red currant, a bit Coca Cola. #westlondonwineschool

Very expressive. Bright strawberry and some deeper earth notes. Palate is elegant, light-med bodied. Good length. Wild strawberry forever.

One of the top Japanese sommeliers recommended me to bring to this home party with my best friends. BIO!! Goes well with either red or white meat.

(16.5/20) Элегантный, сложный аромат красных ягод с нотой поджаренного хлеба. Высокая кислотность, лёгкое тело, умеренная танинность. #prowein2016
