This has attractive aromas of fresh red cherries, wild herbs, roses and forest wood that lead to a palate that carries ripe, soft red plums, some crunchy pomegranate tang and mellow tannins. Drink now.
A blend of fruit from Lowburn and Bannockburn, the 2018 Moonlight Race Pinot Noir is a round, supple and harmonious effort that outperforms its "second wine" status. Hints of brown sugar and cedar accent damson plums and black cherries, while intricate herbal nuances bring added complexity. Medium to full-bodied, it's ready to drink now, yet it shows the concentration and length to suggest it will drink well for up to a decade.
