| Double Gold Medal winner coming in at 98 points (out of 100) at the 2017 San Francisco International Wine Competition, as well as winner of Best Pinot. TASTING NOTE: A beautifully styled pinot, the inviting bouquet shows red/black cherry, raspberry, mixed spice, cedar and floral aromas, followed by a finely textured palate that is rounded and refined. The wine exhibits excellent fruit concentration and purity, wonderfully enhanced by seductive savoury undertones, making it highly attractive. At its best: now to 2021. Score - 93 (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Jan. 2017) |
