JH Meyer Wines
Palmiet Elgin Red Blend
Elgin, Cape South Coast, Western Cape, South Africa
Well made Pinot from South Africa. Lots of red cherries and herbal. Rosé peppers on the finish. Cloudy due to unfiltered. Don’t fancy unfiltered wines but this is good.

Jun 17th, 2018Black cherry and dark, ripe pomegranate with some forest floor underneath it all. Yet again an impressive South African Pinot from Elgin. Opened up a little after time in the glass, and there's a little touch of the singed wood and smokiness that's characteristic of Cape South Coast Pinot. I hope folks wise up to what's happening with this grape down there.

Dec 24th, 2017This looks to be a reserve bottling of #jhmeyer #southafrica #elgin high altitude pinot noir vineyard called #palmiet #singlesite made #unfinedunfiltered which is pretty standard; however very vulnerable with plain natural cork (makes me guess how it was without cork effects); this is quite aged for low pH pinot, no idea what cork has done; very much the forest floor, funky no-varietal style, heaps sappy, full , oak clever; nice wine, drink now, no need to keep, 13%
