Other Reviews….
Medium depth red-purple; not filtered; 100% from the Bonython Vineyard planted in 1997; spice, dark cherry and some forest aromas lead into a light-bodied but well-balanced and surprisingly long palate. The move to screwcap is to be applauded, particularly for wines such as these Barratt Pinot Noirs that rely so much on elegance. Drink by 2016.
