2010 Reserve Pinot Noir
$48.00
Appearance: In this wines 8th year sees the colour just starting to change ever so slightly from deep cherry to hints of brick red.
Aromas: Obvious are the Maraschino Cherry and Almond kernel characters of this wine; these are seldom seen together in Australian Pinot Noir.
Vinification: Extended maceration after fermentation has achieved fine grain tannins so desired in this difficult variety. Twelve months maturation in 100% new French oak barriques has added another dimension to a complex though elegant wine.
Food: Well suited to game dishes and light curries.
