About this product

Product description

Dry, Light Bodied style of Pinot Noir

Independent winery

Mornington Peninsula, Australia

A very intense and precise Pinot Noir by Jones Rd with violet florals, sappy fresh forest aromas, raspberry and spice - very taut and youthful. The palate has superb richness and intensity, really ripples with red fruit flavour and finely layered tannins - the structure is impeccable, really reminiscent of the Burgundian repertoire of power with elegance.

Taste profile

Light Bodied

Light bodied red wines have a water-light mouthfeel and light flavour impact. Often pale to light/medium in colour.

Dry

Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Deep, bright red/purple colour and a fresh, clean, bright fruit-driven aroma. A traces of parsnip and root vegetable stemminess. Raw potato. The palate is a little lean and the acidity a little fresh, but it’s appetising and elegantly structured. Chinotto.

A barrel selection of the best wine resulted in 200 dozen bottles. It is superior to its sibling, but still has a taste profile that is less than ideal. These comments, and those relating to the other wine, are perhaps in the glass half empty approach, not the glass half full. Nonetheless, maturation in bottle won't conceal the taste issues.
