The light ruby colored 2015 Pinot Noir Boekenoogen Vineyard (from clones 113 and 115) was barrel fermented with around 20% stems and spent 10 months in 50% new French oak. It shows the stems on the nose and offers a perfumed, red-fruited profile with lots of cranberries, forest floor, pomegranate and spice-laced aromatics. It's beautiful on the palate and is lightly textured and graceful, with a silky texture. Everything here is beautifully balanced, it has integrated acidity, fine tannin, and a great finish, and while it doesn't hit you over the head with power or richness, it grows on you with time in the glass. Drink this gorgeous Pinot Noir anytime over the coming decade or more.

Pale ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Boekenoogen Vineyard has a very fragrant nose of rose hip tea, potpourri and fertile loam over a core of red cherries and fresh raspberries plus a touch of cinnamon stick. Light to medium-bodied, with wonderful freshness and very fine-grained, silky tannins, it delivers a beautiful quiet intensity and great persistence. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Winemaker Sabrine Rodems manages to tame the richness of this vineyard while retaining its hedonistic joy. Aromas of rose, pomegranate, hibiscus, rhubarb and dark spice lead into pillowy flavors of strawberry, raspberry and clove. This wine feels light and racy yet full of body and flavor.
