Michael Hall Sang De Pigeon Pinot Noir 2011

The Sang De Pigeon label from Michael Hall is his second label which utilises fruit that he thinks doesn't meet his standards. The fruit for this wine comes from the Manyara Vineyard which is located on the main road as you drive from Verdun to Balhannah just as you cross the train tracks.

Michael Hall Sang De Pigeon Pinot Noir 2011

From what is not a very good vintage in the Adelaide Hills, this is a little pearler. The wine starts out light but builds a little as it sits in the glass. To begin with there was a funky dirty element with strawberry's coming through but then the flavour moved to morello cherries that had been covered in fine spice. This wine is your typical Michael Hall number as it is built to show better with a couple of years under its belt.
