PEPPER TREE WINES TASTING NOTES
Pepper Tree Wines 2000 Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
A deep rich red coloured wine, showing black fruits and cedar on the nose. The powerful fruit aromas are a prelude to the
richness of the palate. The yields from 2000 were low resulting in intensely flavoured fruit. The full-bodied palate reveals black
cherries, cassis and a hint of eucalypt seamlessly integrated with ripe fine tannins and natural acid. This wine has the greatest
balance achievable of fruit concentration and elegance. A wine to cellar for many, many years.
Pepper Tree Wines 2003 Grand Reserve Chardonnay
The powerful fruit aromas are a prelude to the richness of the palate. The wine shows restraint over great complexity and
length of flavour and has the greatest balance achievable – fruit concentration and elegance. A wine to cellar for many
years.
