Subtle aromatics of dried herbs such as thyme and rosemary intermingled with blackberries and blackcurrants. On the palate, a toasty hint of oak nicely frames the firm but juicy fruit and fine velvety tannins.

A poor Pinot Noir

I can only conclude that a free sample of this wine (as the case for many of the reviews) psychologically tastes better, as even on offer, this is a poor Pinot Noir. Even for Pinot Noir, this wine lacks body, it is weak almost closer to translucente than being an attractive red wine hue. The taste also lacks body, with absolutely none of the abundance of fruit that a good Pinot Noir offers and there's an oddly acidic aftertaste. My wife and I couldn't even finish the bottle, a very rare occurrence.

Acidic, not much fruit

I’m reviewing this product because I got a free sample from Ocado. Quite shocked to find such a poor quality wine for such a retail price. Very acidic, not much fruit, not much body either. I can't understand how other reviewers describe this as smooth, our bottle certainly wasn't. Due to its acidity we matched it with some nice mature cheddar so it was just about tolerable.

Good smooth red wine.

Asked to review this from Ocado, a nice rich smooth wine. I'm not sure how to describe it but I would buy again, perhaps when on offer or Christmas!

Lovely wine!

We were sent this by Ocado to review. This is a beautiful wine, smooth, well rounded and very easy to drink. We will be buying this again.

Didnt enjoy enough

I was sent a bottle in return for a review. I usually enjoy a pinot noir and have had some good Villa Maria wines but I didnt enjoy this wine enough to pay £17. Perhaps it would have been better with a meal but not interesting enough on its own.

beautiful, smooth pinot noir

we were sent this in return for a review. Tried to savour it, but it didn't last very long at all. Full of flavour, but very smooth with it.
