Silkwood Estate The Bowers Pemberton Pinot Noir 2022

Granted that this is very young, coming from the 2022 vintage, but it is one of the most enjoyable reds from this West Australian producer that I have yet seen. Utterly delicious and fabulous value. It had seen a short period in oak, but it is the fruit that shines here. The wine is bright crimson in colour. We have notes of strawberries, raspberries, red apples and a hint of a herbal/briary note which takes it beyond a simple fruit bomb and gives it more structure and a touch of early complexity. The red fruit notes move to darker characters such as black cherries, as we proceed. Light to medium weight in structure, with a soft and creamy texture on the palate, there are silky tannins on a finish exhibiting decent length. Drink now and over the next two to three years. It may be young but it really is quite delicious. Love it.
