Juicy, firm and fine. Boasts all the kind of qualities we like to see in a Yarra Valley Pinot Noir that meets both “drink now” and “drink later” attributes. It’s a win-win kind of wine. That bouquet is something else, all violet, rosehip, juniper floral aromatics with cherry, raspberry and light herbals. Lively, juicy fruits carry the day and the palate as it rolls out across sinewy, fine tannins with plenty of cherry flavour, a little strawberry, raspberry with woody spices and dried herbs in tight formation. Plenty to like here now and/or later.
