The vineyards from which the grapes for Devil's Rock are sourced are amongst the southern most in the world. This wine is made from three different clones of Pinot and a small portion was matured in French oak.

Semi translucent crimson red colour with mauve crimson hue. The nose displays good aromatic lift with dark cherry and violet top notes followed by some plum with a spicy cedar overlay. Light to medium weight the palate displays generous flavours of dark cherries, plum and spice with some underlying cedar. Very fine grained well integrated tannins give the wine an almost supple like mouthfeel. Good power wave with long aftertaste of dark cherry, anise, plum and spice.
Drink over the next 2-3 years (2011-2014).
Alc 13.5%.
