Domenico 2004 Pinotage

Winemaker Tasting & Pairing Notes:
Medium-bodied, aromas of blackberries, mint, plum, cinnamon and fresh linen. Notes of cherries, leather and tobacco with lingering oak flavors. Pairs well with BBQ, venison, blue cheese and rich vegetarian meals. A cross between the delicate Pinot Noir and the more robust Cinsaut.

Winemaking Notes:
Whole berry fermented in small open fermenters. 10-12 days maceration with 2-3 hand punchdowns per day. Aged in French and American oak for 11 months.
