A medium to dark red colour, the nose has spiced rhubarb and ripe plum fruits.

The palate opens with stewed strawberry and spiced plum, oak adds roundness to the mid palate and curbs the drying tannins towards the finish.

The wine has excellent length on the finish and the tannin and acid structure to underwrite a number of years in the cellar.

As a pinot it is bordering on dry red with the varietal character of the palate being more medium to full bodied in terms of concentration and tannin, nevertheless it is a decidedly good drink.
