Good effort, but un-recognizable as a Pinot Noir. It's almost as if it underwent an apassimento treatment.

Pale ruby colour. Aromatic, citrus rind, cherry, cardamum, oils, beetroot, and dried berry nose. Light-medium bodied with very good fruit replays and cleansing acidity; tannins have a pleasant, dry bitterness and the finish is balanced and complete.
