Description The grapes for this wine come from 5 different vineyards. You’re probably wondering – if you’re a fan of Tawse Pinot – why they didn’t make vineyard specific Pinot this year, the answer my friend is simple: although 2006 was a great growing season it was a very wet harvest and once the grapes made it inside the winery they were indistinguishable one batch to the next, so instead of faking it Tawse put’em all together, lowered the price and created a single Pinot from the 2006 vintage. And I tell you this wine has not suffered one bit. Smells of cherry, cranberry, cinnamon and strawberry greet the nose, while the mouth is quite fruity, containing sour cherry, unwashed strawberry and a dusting of tannins that seem to slide effortlessly through the mouth. I adored the cherry finish that lingered pleasantly after swallowing. Price: $32.00
