Western Australian Pinot Noir is no longer simply a curio or the answer to a trivia question. Rather, it is providing some seriously enjoyable drinking with wines that can also offer longevity. A strawberry/cherry hue, there are simply gorgeous Pinot Noir notes here. There is a flick of vanillin oak, but with it we have red fruits, kirsch, wild raspberries, aniseed, boysenberries and dried herbs. This is finely balanced, if a slightly savoury style. On the palate we have the emergence of mushrooms and cherries. The wine exhibits good length through to fine tannins and finishes with a hint of sour cherries. Enjoy this over the next half dozen years.
Ken was born and bred in Brisbane, Queensland. He had a non-trendy, perfectly happy childhood, in a family convinced alcohol meant instant condemnation to Hades. But a break fishing on the Great Barrier Reef, and some good wine, started a serious obsession that eventually took over. It did not stop Ken being chastised later for drinking Pol champagne, disgusted he’d drink anything made by a Cambodian dictator. Now, Ken mostly writes on wine, champagne and spirits for various newspapers, magazines and books, but is perhaps best known for his work in The Courier Mail. He also has a little sideline writing on cigars, fishing, travel and food. When not writing, fly-fishing for trout in NZ or bonefish on the flats of Cuba, travelling or smoking cigars, he is no doubt following a variety of sporting teams – the occasionally glorious Queensland Reds rugby, the dysfunctional Washington Redskins, the dodgy Arsenal and especially revels in the world restored to its proper axis with the return of the Ashes to their rightful home.
