Cape Banks, Pinot Noir 2016

Some dark fruit action, but still pretty soft and approachable. Rated the 2013 Vintage

sour cherry pomegranate red fruit. Rated the 2018 vintage

Great from the moment I opened and just got better as it breathed, even though it wasn't there long. Rated the 2016 Vintage

lovely nose, quite long for a Pinot and full bodied, which is my jam. Rated the 2015 Vintage

Moderate burgundy. The nose does have some maraschino cherry and plum, but it predominantly leans towards more savoury characters, with dried herbs, mint, violet, mushroom, and earthy flint. Light-to-medium bodied on the palate, with sour cherry, dried herbs, coffee and baking spices, before finishing quite long with chalky, moderate tannins. A wonderfully expressive wine. The tannin structure and tight acidity result in a wine that takes quite some time to open up, but will age very well in future. Rated the 2013 Vintage
