Pinot Noir 2015, Yarra Valley VIC
A good food wine to enjoy with rich flavours
NOSE - The gift of sweet ripe strawberries, some freshly stewed plum and delicate freckles of white pepper. There's also a VIP appearance from Lady Violet and her beau Sir Leather Glove.
PALATE - This wine used to be king but age has dethroned it and age has begun to take its toll. I loved this wine so much, so when the vineyard called me to say they had found a few more cases in a back shed, I jumped at the chance to grab it. A light bodied red, super fine gritty tannins with good acid and length. A discovery of black cherry, cedar elegance and wink of vanilla with anise trailing on the finish. Given a little time to open up this wine builds in complexity, displaying consistently with the rich red fruit on the nose.

Hand-picked fruit, whole bunch fermented naturally with wild yeast in French oak barrels for 12 months. This wine is from one of my favourite Yarra Valley winemakers with fruit sourced from a Halliday rated five star vineyard. Halliday gave this wine 95 points. Gary Walsh from The Winefront tasted it in 2020 and gave it 92 points. Both stated that the wine would cellar until close to 2030. A fruit driven vino with some delicious ageing characteristics. A lovely drop to sip while winter slips away and spring blooms with promise. Very good bang for you buck!
VEGAN FRIENDLY - Like all of our wines, no animal products were used in the making of this wine.
