On the nose, dark cherries, strawberries, raspberries, black oil, balk earth and red roses. On the palate, the fruit match the nose with the addition of blueberries, medium spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, crushed rocks, red roses, dark soil, dry stems, black cherry cola with decent acidity and fruity finish.

Immediate mushroomy, funky nose. Classic Gibbston Valley - very similar to school house. Good balance and concentration but a bit less length on the finish than Gibbston Valley school house.

Good easy drinking. Pinot Gris. Nice persistent fruit. Maybe a bit of pear and peach. Well grounded. Good acidity. Medium finish. Well done.
