This is a very well presented, rich, and tasty Pinot Noir.  No wonder considering it is from the folk that give us Pegasus Bay.  The price though is eye catching.   

"Cold weather during bud burst resulted in lower crop levels, hence no further fruit thinning was carried out. The subsequent warm dry summer served up perfectly ripened small berries full of intense flavour and concentration. Favourable conditions continued into autumn, allowing the fruit to be picked at its optimum ripeness.

Upon release the colour is a vibrant ruby. An enticing medley of red fruit and earthy aromas rise gently from the glass, rhubarb, cherry, and pomegranate at the fore, flanked by impressions of tree moss, mushroom, wood spice, leather, and cinnamon, along with a trace of violet. The mouthfeel is plush and velvety, with fine grained, polished tannins and a tickle of refreshing acidity that sashays across the palate. Fragrant, savoury, and silky, this vintage has delivered a graceful and elegant wine, with a finely textured finish." Winery notes (2022 Vintage)

"Very attractive bouquet with scents of baking spices then red berry fruits, some smoky oak and new-ish wood impacts, yet not so much that a light violet quality follows through. Dry and textured and the wine touches the palate, flavours of plums and cherries, mushroom and other earthy qualities that mix with the wood and lees inputs. A wine that will continue to develop over the next 1-3 years. Best drinking from 2025 through 2029." Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, June 2024 (2022 Vintage)
