Tasting notes
Maybe 8–10% whole bunch, suggests Rudi Bauer. Mid cherry red. Gorgeous red-cherry aroma and some wild crushed herbs. Fresh and herbal and dry but sweet-fruited. Has a nice dusty note on the nose. Dry, very fine texture. Lightly chewy and quite compact. Really fragrant. (JH)

Just about to be released. Perfumed and rich on the nose. Sweet, luscious start. This does rather remind me of an Austrian Pinot! Pretty dry and chewy on the end. (JR)
Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2015 Pinot Noir exudes gorgeous violets, red roses and black cherry notes with underlying Provence herbs, dusty earth and cinnamon stick hints. Medium-bodied, the palate has a firm backbone of ripe, velvety tannins with lively acid supporting the concentrated, multi-layered flavors, finishing long. Spectacular Pinot Noir!
