2011 Pipe
On the nose you will pick up sweet, ripe dark fruit. The palate is full and mouth coating with more dark fruit, and hints of raisins and figs. On the lengthy finish you get the warmth of the alcohol balanced with a natural residual sweetness.

Winemaker Notes
The grapes for the Pipe (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc) are usually the last to be fermented and signify the end of harvest. The grapes are normally higher in sugar and have a more concentrated flavour, and are fermented together under normal red wine conditions. Two-thirds of the way through fermentation, grain spirits are added to the tank to stop the ferment and increase colour extraction from the skins. The result is a wine with high alcohol and residual sugar to balance it. The wine is aged in neutral barrels for 5 years.
