  I was again impressed by this pinot. In our market, this is a great QPR. A nice silky texture, medium bodied, with cherries and other red fruits and a hint of savory notes. Well balanced and harmonious. Drinking well now, but no rush (A-)

  Enclosed by screw cap, this lovely organic and vegan-friendly Pinot Noir has a fresh, fragrant, and highly aromatic nose with a lovely, balanced, and complex mix of dark red cherry, strawberry, spices, earthy-stony minerality and beetroot aromas. It's mid-weighted with very good concentration on the elegant palate with smooth, gentle, and refined tannins, along with fresh, juicy acidity. It's very nicely balanced with lovely dark red cherry, strawberry, earthy beetroot, and spices, plus touches of plum flavours surrounding a stony mineral core. Supple mouthfeel with tea leaf notes emerging on the mid-palate, while the finish is exceptionally long with lingering stony mineral notes. Wow.

  Light ruby in colour, with spices, cherry, pomegranate and a slight earthy note on the nose. Light to medium bodied on the palate, but with good intensity and more spices, cherries and a herbal note. There's a nice balance, with slight tannins and nice acid to create lift. Nice QPR at the sale price here (B+/A-).
