A most alluring style of Pinot Noir from an excellent vintage for the Adelaide Hills, the wine saw maturation for eight months in French oak. A gentle crimson/garnet hue, we have hints of chocolate and nuts, florals, raspberries and red fruits, with a hint of leaf litter. Delightfully fragrant, the wine has balance and excellent length, through to sleek tannins on a persistent finish. Hints of cherries emerge on the palate. Delicious drinking now and no reason it won’t remain so for at least the next eight 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.
