Nor'Wester by Greystone Pinot Noir 2020
Greystone are absolute wine legends who just don't make average wine.
"A complex nose of red fruits, baking spice and subtle floral notes. The nose is matched with a bright and alluring palate of summer berries, red liquorice and raspberry compote. Medium-bodied, with structured tannins and a lingering finish." Winery notes
"Fragrant and inviting, the bouquet shows dark berry, thyme, spicy oak and floral aromas, leading to a silky-smooth palate offering bright fruit flavours with savoury nuances. Elegantly structured by fine polished tannins, finishing splendidly long and satisfying. At its best: now to 2028." 5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, April 2023
"Smoky, earthy nose of dried cherries, wet earth, bark, dried leaves, mushrooms and smoked meat. Medium-bodied with tight tannins. Savoury, firm finish." 91/100 JamesSuckling.com, December 2021
"From vineyards 'scattered across the region', the very harmonious 2020 vintage was French oak-matured for nine months. Ruby-hued, it is a fresh, mouthfilling, supple red, with moderately concentrated, ripe cherry and spice flavours, and nutty, savoury notes adding complexity. Still youthful, it should be at its best mid-2024+." 4 Stars Michael Cooper
