WOOLLASTON MOUTERE CLAY PINOT NOIR 2005

Dark ruby garnet in colour. The nose shows black cherry, plum and liquorice with savoury oak notes providing complexity. On the palate concentrated dark berry fruit provide a fruit core that is supported by firm fine grained tannins moderated by a silky texture at the finish.
