Francesco Westend Estate Pinot Noir 2002 (Adelaide Hills)
Producer:
Francesco
Item name:
Westend Estate Pinot Noir
Wine type:
Red
Reviewer:
Tom DiNardo This Aussie pinot is a real value. Reminiscent of quality “old world” wine making, but incorporating new technology such as a screw cap, this wine has been aged in French oak for 20 months and it is unfiltered. Aromas of strawberry, plum and pepper prevail. This pinot noir is well structured and dry. Once properly decanted, the wine reveals flavors of strawberry, pepper, and herbs and a moderate finish. Enjoy
