Variety: Pinot Noir
Region/G.I.: South West Australia, Pemberton
Vintage: 2012
Closure: Screwcap
Colour: Cherry/ brown
Alcohol: 14.0%
Bouquet: Wet cow (animal) aromas stronger with secondary, underlying sour cherry fruit
Flavour: This is a full style of Pinot Noir which has balanced fruit according to the nose and some dried spices (turmeric), charred/smokey flavours, poised acidity and a long finish thanks to tannins. Big without being alcoholic in spite of the 14.0%.
Points: 88 (3+7+12+8+8+50)
Notes: Something is wrong and I have the taste for Pinot Noir at the moment. This doesn't disappoint and was a nice surprise in a recent mixed case purchase of Pinot Noir. I have enjoyed wines from this producer before. Given its relatively young age and screwcap it is surprising that it is balanced/smooth. $16.80~300Kc. Delightful.
looks very good!
