La Reserve Pinot Noir 2006
TASTING NOTES:
This Pinot Noir exhibits intense fruit flavours, combined with
elegant refinement and concentration. Seductive aromas of
red cherries and plums give way to a palate of savoury
flavours and subtle spices, broadening out to fine silky
tannins for a long, lingering finish.
