Classic Heathcote here with plush and velvety tannins, soft like the nose of a horse. There’s kirsch, cherry cola and blackberry; all the fruit is in check. There’s a little nod to a more Rhône-esque style with hints of charcoal and graphite showing but not they don’t dominate the fruit, a testament, perhaps, to the notion that there’s no place like home. Full, drying tannins leave a lasting taste of cocoa powder. You really can’t go wrong.
Morgan Dunn was a Melbourne based sommelier with over 10 years of experience. He was one of our very first Winepilots and wrote a regular wine column for The Australian and contributed to various publications including Noble Rot. In 2017 he was named 'Emerging Wine Writer of the Year' at the Louis Roederer International Wine Writers' Awards as well as receiving the Wine Communicators of Australia award for 'Best Published Feature Article or Wine Column'. He spoke Japanese and was planning to write a book on Tokyo wine bars and wine culture in Japan. In his spare time Morgan played piano, enjoyed snowboarding and went to Escape Rooms with his twin brother. He is deeply missed by many.
