“The 2010 Botanic Pinot Noir has an upfront, fruit-driven bouquet with ripe fresh strawberries, red cherries and kirsch. The palate is rounded and generous with soft tannins but a fine seam of acidity. Clean, pure red cherries and sloes segue into dark plum towards the smooth finish. This is an accomplished Pinot from Botanic.

Food pairing: Nice with duck, poultry but also with grilled shrimp, tuna and cow or goat cheese.
