Wine Review: This dark red Pinot Noir opens with a musty and smoky oak and red cherry bouquet. The flavor profile is unique. It features cedar influenced strawberry flavors with notes of minerality, red plum and Slim Jim. The finish is dry and its moderate acidity and flavors linger nicely. This is a classic South African styled wine. If you like this style, you will like this well-made Pinot. I would pair it with roast duck with an orange and ginger sauce. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: This vibrant Pinot Noir displays concentrated raspberry and dark cherry flavors, intertwined with spicy notes of clove and curry leaf. Bright acidity lends a tension and freshness, while the fragrant spice character bring a savory depth to the wine.
