Kiwa Single Vineyard Martinborough Pinot Noir 2015

9.3

At 10 years old a wine that is drinking quite nicely and the 2015 was seen as a good Martinborough vintage, and the single vineyard KIWA as having good structure, complexity, and capacity for aging to 2025 and beyond.
It’s a harmonious balance of fruit and savory complexity with earthy, spicy, and savory notes, underpinned by its structure and a long finish.

9.3

50:50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cinsault. This wine is a modest 12.8%.
The Cabernet is from bush vines in Stellenbosch and the Cinsault from Paarl, the wine matured for 18 months in old oak. On the nose, cranberry, cherries and plums plus some herbal character while the palate is medium bodied with lovely fruit expression, bright acidity and fine integrated tannins. Longish length with sweet fruit showing through.

Developing very nicely and this will be a great Jack Mann. Elegant, layered integrated tannins but yet a well structured and powerful Cabernet Sauvignon lots of high scores from the local West Australian critics like Ray Jordan.

9.1

.Visually dark, opaque black-purple hue, hinting at the concentration.
On the nose, a bouquet of blackberry and plums.
The palate transitions seamlessly, revealing a well-structured profile where integrated tannins provide a firm yet smooth framework. This structure supports a core of persistent fruit that carries through to a notably long and satisfying finish.
A good example of the generally improving wines coming through behind the top liners.
