2005 Reserve Pinot Noir
The wine: Bright deep red colour with fragrant rich dark plum, cherry, spice and floral bouquet. The palate is full bodied with exquisite layers of berry fruit and earthy notes and complex rich flavours. The wine is silky and elegant with a lengthy smooth finish.
Tasting Note
From Sydney International Wine Competition 2008 – Highly Commended
“Good deep colour. Hints of spice and pepper on the nose. Lively, cherry-like fruit, well integrated with the oak. Velvety and supple, a very drinkable, delicious wine.”
