This wine starts off reserved, but with time reveals aromas of black cherry, raspberry and plum, touched by hints of licorice root and minty herbs. The texture is soft, like crushed satin, with a pleasant hint of cocoa powder dusting the finish.
The wine is a medium ruby with aromas of violets, clove, and fresh dark cherries. The palate elegant, textured and filled with ripe raspberry and cherry flavors with hints of mushroom and black tea. The finish has mouthwatering acidity and medium tannin.
Classic strawberry & cherry fruit you expect from a Pinot with a touch of peppery spice. The Overberg vineyard brings a classic strawberry fruit profile, while the vineyards in Elgin add structure. The Durbanville vineyards give an alluring perfume.
