2013 Tapanappa Foggy Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir

Aged in French oak barriques of which 30% were new. Semi translucent bright dark red colour with a crimson red hue. Very perfumed aromas of violets intermixed with ripe dark cherries and strawberries emanate from the glass with a meaty clove like overlay and spicy cedar end notes. Mouthfilling flavours of ripe dark cherries, plum and strawberries engulf the palate with background nuances of meaty characters, toasty cedar and spice. Excellent power wave. Some fresh acidity on the finish and a solid yet fine grained tannin structure provide the framework. Long aftertaste of spicy dark cherries, dark plums, meaty characters, scorched earth and cedar.
Cellar 6-8 years.
Alc. 13.9%
