The aromas are more savoury-accented, from charcuterie to charry oak spice with an intriguing and appealing ironstone-ferrous element that follows through on the medium-bodied palate. Sweet fruit and bountiful tannins; a touch nervy, but time will help.

Careful winemaking has preserved the fine and fragrant lacy delicacy of this Yarra Valley pinot noir. Persistent and silken cherry and red berry flavours dance prettily across the palate, and a degree of gravitas is brought to the party in the form of a classic brambly, spicy frame.
