A: Thin ruby-red color N: Light. Cranberry. Blueberry. Raspberry. T: Light bodied. Tannins hit fairly strong on the back palate. Blueberry, cherry, cranberry, herbal, tobacco and earth notes. F: Quick finish. Tannins linger on the back palette.
Overall: Has a fairly old-world profile for a new world wine. Not a bad little wine for the $16 I paid.

Red berry nose with strawberry, cranberry and cherry notes. Some beetroot character, red liquorice, slight clove and florals. Medium bodied palatal feel with refreshing structure and pretty bright red-toned fruit. Juicy and slightly meaty touch turns rather minerally from the mid-palate on with smoke, florals and elegant oaking. Lengthy. Very nice stuff with juicy Pinot fruit.

A real bargaing at 16USD. Convincing aussie Pinot with good grape charactar. Intense fruity nose. Medium bodied. Cool on the palate with fresh red fruit. A little candiced but not over the top, fresh acid softened by at suttle feal of creamy oak. Thumps Up

Medium ruby colour. Medium intensity nose of red cherry - with secondary notes of blackcurrant (!) and spicy oak. Medium intensity flavours of sour red fruits (redcurrant, red cherry) dominate the palate with secondary notes of sweet black fruit (blackcurrant) and just a hint of spicy oak. Good acidity, short to medium length. Not bad, but not memorable either.

A bottle whose value borders on great. After opening and breathing for ~1 hour, this bottle went fast!

Cherry and bubblegum. Light palate. Inoffensive but lacking depth.
