Ruby with aromas of red fruits, floral, sweet spice and earthy oak. On the palate flavors of cherry, strawberry and red plums with floral and vanilla notes. Fine tannins with lively acidity, great mouthfeel on a medium finish ending with fruit and earthy character. Drink now, it’s great!

Mid crimson in colour. Earthy smoky notes with more forest floor than red fruit notes. These earthy notes come through on the palate finishing with a slight astringency. Good structure but requires a more red fruited presence on the palate I feel. A well credentialed producer from Martinborough better known for their high quality individual Cuvées like Kupe. Long time wine maker is Australian Larry McKenna. Footnote: Just discovered that Escarpment is now owned by Torbreck Vintners (South Australia).

Well made pinot. Beautiful funky cherries and tart raspberries on the nose. Medium - finish but a nice soft palate with 13% alcohol this wine is very approachable.
