This wine is a poor example of Pinot noir from this talented wine maker. The color in the glass reminded me of cranberry/ grape juice. I dont mine unfined and unfiltered wines. I think whole stem crushing can add to a wine, but the poor color would turn anyone off. The aroma's were some what lacking and unstructured with whiff of strawberry, some gaminess, It was fairly flat. I should have put the glass down here, but I had to take a sip. There were primary fruits, but not pleasent and structured.The mouth feel was watery and not the fine tannins and silk that you get with most pinot noir. There was no finish at all. I think everyone should give this a miss unless you like drinking grape juice. Even that would have more finesse and structure.

The Real Wine Fair 2013 (Tobacco Dock, Wapping): Pale, rusty red. Smells of strawberries and cream. Sweet entry but palate is a little amorphous. OK. 16/20.
