Brokenwood Wines 2010 The Bentley's Boot Pinot Noir

Variety: Pinot Noir
Region/G.I.: North East Victoria, Beechworth
Vintage: 2010
Alcohol: 14.0%
Bouquet: Sour cherry and herbs, primarily Rosemary
Flavour: Very nice length with gentle tannins rounding out a very pleasant move from sour cherry fruit and herb flavours to a drying finish. Nice acidity and complexity.
Points: 85
Notes: This is a heavier version of Pinot Noir and clearly in the Australian style of bigger fruit. It's enjoyable but I can imagine purists would not be impressed. Online it is is as much as $35 a bottle although this came through a wine club for $15.81 (~280Kc) which is good value at that price
