A highly perfumed aroma of violets, the fruit profile of vibrant blue and black cherries, Campari lift with a hint of stalk heightening the spice element sitting in the medium weighted silky characteristic of Pinot noir. A very refreshing elegant fruit palate the bunch use bringing some stalk tannin andstructure, only older oak was used for maturation to highlight the fruit purity.
Producer Notes
"From a 2ha plot planted in 2000. Some whole bunches. Matured in French hogsheads (20% new). A very bright crimson red. Just bottled. A very primary bouquet redolent of freshly picked cherries, ripe raspberries and a little bitter blood orange. Punchy and with loads of flavour and ripe tannins. This will merit an even better score, I'd imagine, in six to 12 months. Great value from the team at Yarra Yering."
