A fine-edged Pinot Noir, fragrant and delicate in a style that the Orange wine region does so well. Crams strawberry, cranberry, cherry and spice into an inviting aromatic fragrance. The producer regards this wine as reserve quality. It boasts good fruit concentration across the palate, cherry fresh and vibrant, with strong spice support. Overall, excellent length and varietal definition here finishing in a flourish of earthy, fine tannins. A very handy Pinot Noir to have around.
