Cook’s Lot Pinot Noir Allotment 1111 2025

Pinot Noir has already proven itself in the Orange region and this will simply add to its lustre. Pale russet/garnet in colour, the nose offers a slight smoked meat note, with spices and herbs, strawberries, leaf litter, raspberries, aniseed and a hint of sweet cherries. As is obvious, very much a red-fruited style. There is decent length here and zesty acidity. The wine finishes with sleek tannins. Enjoyable now, but it will certainly be better in twelve months, after which it can be enjoyed for another three or four years.
