Noirien Pinot Noir

Lovely rendition of estate-grown Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir. Fresh raspberries, mulberries and boysenberries present first and foremost, complemented by a mix of spices such as clove and Chinese fivespice, then finished off with a hint of violets and bouquet garni. The palate is uniform, direct and poised with a gentle roundness. Again fresh berries dominate the palate, along with raspberry lemonade and ruby grapefruit with plentiful fine chalky tannins and a fresh crunch to finish that reminds us that this wine appears fine and delicate but has ample strength to evolve over a fair while. – Paul Scorpo
