Reallll good value. Pure, rich, concentrated SRH fruit with the acidity, minerality that other SRH pinots in its price range often miss.

Medium ruby, youthful color, quite intense aromas of thyme flower, rhubarb and raspberries in liquor. Dry with a sweet tartness and strawberries and cherries. Ripe fruit. Subtle spice of ground red pepper seeds and a little smokey. Warm. With the fruit that it has it begins to resemble a Barbaresco or a Rioja.

Gorgeous fragrance to this Pinot. Sweet fruited, twist of funk and earthy undertones. Brilliant value. Glug glug
