The fruit for the 2012 Lethbridge Pinot Noir is sourced from the Suma Park Estate vines yielding 1.5 tonne /acre with 30% being whole bunch. Maturation took place in French oak of which 30% was new.

A very seductive Pinot Noir

Semi translucent dark red colour with a crimson red hue. Perfumed nose exhibiting violet top notes followed by dark cherries, plums and anise over some toasty cedar and spice. Light in body weight the palate features rich supplely textured flavours of ripe dark cherries, plums and strawberries interwoven with some anise, toasty cedar and spicy dried meats. Velvet smooth tannins. Excellent power wave with a long aftertaste of ripe dark cherries, dark plums, meaty characters and spicy toasted cedar.
Delicious drinking over the next 5-6 years.
Alc 12.5%

Other Reviews….
Good colour; the bouquet is very complex and fragrant, as is the multiplicity of flavours of the palate, exotic spice, plums and even some fresh truffle nuances; the tannins are as good as they come, the oak integrated. Drink by 2020.
