Riebeek Cellars - Pieter Cruythoff Brut Ros? NV (750ml) Cotes de BlayeWhile Pieter Cuythoff humbly named the valley after his patron, Jan van Riebeeck, Riebeek Cellars feels it is only fitting that this wine, which expresses the best of its valley, should carry the name of its founder. So, in honor of Mr. Cruythoff, this range of fine wine bears his name. Bright red berry notes and a hint of spice is balanced by a luxurious texture & an elegant, lingering, dry finish. The Chardonnay & Pinot Noir grapes are crushed

Balanced and refined yet ripe

and ripe raspberry followed by subtle notes of dark chocolate

Restrained tannin and acidity coupled with rich alcohol

offering red fruit aromas of raspberry and cranberry with milk chocolate and floral undertones

The wine combines

Aromas of rhubarb

fine-grained tannins accompany ripe Morello cherry

this is a Saint-Julien that will be quite delicious to drink over the next 10-12 years

FIVE FACES is an acronym for the five members of the Fullerton family - Filip

Higher elevation and an exposition tilted northwards gives a cooler edge to this wine

with two generations of the Gross family guiding Cooper Mountain

The medium to full-bodied palate bursts with opulent black fruit
