2009 Bianchet Pinot Noir Rose   $25.00 per bottle / $280 per case

2009 Bianchet Shiraz   $25.00 per bottle / $280 per case
Spice and dark fruit cake characters feature on the nose and palate of this wine. Good fruit weight and length has been supported by toasty oak flavours from one year in 50% new French oak barriques. Definitely a keeper, although this wine has great drinkability now.
