Woodbridge Pinot Noir (3L, 13.5%)

A California Pinot Noir blend from the Robert Mondavi family, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 3-litre box format. The wine is built on 77% Pinot Noir, supplemented by 12% Syrah, 8% Petit Verdot and 3% Zinfandel. It is aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels before packaging in the 3-litre box. Ripe strawberry and cherry lead the nose, followed by light cocoa, baking spice and a faint toast character. The palate is bright and fruit-forward with cherry and cranberry, subtle cocoa and licorice, gentle peppery spice and a fuller body. The finish is smooth and velvety with soft cherry, a whisper of orange peel and light, approachable tannins.
