Critics Ratings
'The 2012 Bona Fide Pinot Noir includes 20% whole cluster fruit and sees 30% new oak for 11 months. This has a much more voluptuous bouquet compared to the Cuvee Cinema -11 with plenty of vivacious red currant and raspberry scents. The palate is very well-balanced with fine acidity and lovely rounded, clean pure strawberry fruit that have a slightly creamy texture. What a beautiful, composed, delicious Pinot Noir. Drink now-2018' - Neil Martin, Wine Advocate (October 2013), 93/100
'Some power, plenty of substance - grippy acid, subtle tannin, to ensure good few years development. These Pinots all modestly oaked; this one 30% new barrels.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2014, 4.5*
