“Effusive ‘bonbons anglais’, floral and fresh herb scents lead the way to a palate with a joyous, sweet fruit presence. Red and dark fruit notes are joined by a whisper of tar and earth. It flows along even lines, and the tannins have lightness and finesse. A wine with balance and integrity”

“Elegant and reasonably powerful Pinot Noir with spicy cherry, smoky oak and violet flavours. A firmly structured wine that can be appreciated now but deserves to be matched with food. Good cellaring potential”

“This is a fresh, juicy, sweet-fruited Pinot Noir with a fine-textured core and fresh mouthfeel.”

“Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2014 La Strada Pinot Noir is beautifully scented of warm cranberries, raspberry tart and kirsch with hints of garrique, dried herbs and forest floor. It fills the palate with perfumed, earth and kirsch laced flavors with satiny tannins and great freshness, finishing long.”

“Elegant, poised and fragrant on the nose; aromas of ripe cherry, floral and almond with hints of game and mushroom complexity. The palate delivers excellent fruit weight and silky texture, beautifully enhanced by layers of ripe fruit flavours and subtle savoury undertones, finishing long and finely dry. Stylish and attractive, pristine and complex all at the same time.”
