Ruby red, forest floor, cranberry, tartness, and a medium finish. — 8 months ago
Nice New World type of Pinot Noir from South Africa. Excellent with pizza. Crunchy tannins and lots of fruit. Not elegant but an excellent example of this type of Pinot Noir. — a month ago
Grapefruit upfront, and on the mid pallet finishes with a slight hint of minerals. Very impressive for the his being a 23 vintage.  — 6 months ago
This wine is just getting good. A lot of baking spice, apple, dried herbs, cranberry, kind of like Thanksgiving sans turkey and potatoes. Really opens after 90 minutes of air. Outstanding — 9 months ago
Yummy stone fruit aromas, round on the palate with soft but tart lemon curd acidity, nectarine flavors, and peach skin texture. — 2 months ago
Well, glad I kept this for another 6 years to see how it evolved. Cork was in amazing shape. Brick red. Almost tawny in glass. Dried flowers and herbs on the nose. Not a lot of fruit on the nose. Palate is more dried flowers, roses, leather, the faintest touch of pouch tobacco, plums, dried fig, maybe persimmon. It dries the mouth with tannin and acidity. Definitely secondary flavors starting. Probably the best wine deal I’ve ever had for this type of quality. Wish I had one more to try in 2028. — 8 months ago

This is great right now. I feel Ernst’s red wines hit a nice spot in 5-7 years. Good fruit with raspberries, earth, baking spices, red apple, some earth. Lovely — 17 days ago
