  Deep garnet color. On the nose, it offers a delightful bouquet of red fruits that entices the senses, accompanied by intriguing hints of cola and earthiness, adding complexity to its aromatic profile.

  Neighbourhood gang late night at Maison Dakota. Drank in Grassl Cru.
  Appearance is clear, deep intensity, purplish ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of high toned aromatic stems, dark red cherries, ripe strawberries, slight cola. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, just about high acidity, medium alcohol (13.4%), medium tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet cola, dark red cherries, ripe strawberries, stems and slight spice. Long finish.
  Very good quality. Lovely nose and delicious palate sweetness. New World Pinot done quite right.

  Very good but I was expecting more. Cranberry & cherry nose over earthy cherry tart palate. Good balance but needs some zing. Try again in a few years.

  absolutely beautiful.... this was super lifted and bright, nothing about it was dark, great nose (which I usually don't notice), bright red fruit with high acidity but hints of sweetness... mouthwatering, if you like dark / dank / soily red burgs or pinots this isn't for you... yum!!

  the deepest and richest of the 3 Pinots consumed with an intense floral and cola aroma.
