Winemaker’s Comments
This wine is deep ruby in color. The nose opens with the classic red fruit, such as strawberries and wild raspberries, typical of this noble variety. Notes of vanilla and spices intermingle subtly with a delicate minerality, making this a delightful and complex wine. The mouth reveals intense, fruity flavors and tannins which are ripe, well-rounded and integrated into the elegant structure. Long in the finish. The French oak frames the expressiveness of this distinctive and elegant wine.
This wine can be kept for more than 8 years if stored correctly.
Best served at between 14°C and 15°C. This wine pairs well with oily fish, pasta dishes, creamed soups and mature cheese.
Vinous – 92 points

Brilliant ruby-red. Lively spice- and mineral-tinged raspberry and cherry aromas show very good clarity and hints of vanilla and cola. Sweet, juicy and focused on the palate, offering pliant red fruit, spicecake and floral pastille flavors that are sharpened by white pepper and smoky mineral flourishes. Expands and deepens with aeration while also showing very good vivacity and focus. Gently sweet, spicy and seamless on the impressively persistent finish, which shows subtle tannins and an echo of peppery spices.

The 2014 Herú Pinot Noir had some medicinal aromas intermixed with some earthy notes, hints of blood oranges and cured meat. It’s produced with fruit from a three-hectare vineyard in Casablanca and fermented in open top vats. It matured in French barriques for 14 months. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and a fresh sensation. 5,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2015.
