Sourced from a range of regions within Victoria, the exact identity remains unknown, but the result is a tasty, medium-bodied Pinot with plenty of bounce. Lots of cherry fruit aromas to the fore backed by earth and cranberry. Expands a little more on the palate to encompass a touch of earthy, leathery savouriness amid the black and red cherry, pomegranate and cranberry fruits. Tight, almost astringent, to close. A good Pinot for those after some early drinking pleasure.
