Applejack Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018

9.2

Brief notes. Another excellent example of Pinot Noir from the Applejack vineyard. Red fruited with strawberry and cherry. Definitely more fruit driven than the Wombat Creek which has more whole bunch in the ferment. The differences are more in wine making technique than in terroir I feel. Sexton possibly a bit of each. — 3 days ago

See previous Delectable notes from 2021 and 2022. Always a class act from Tom Carson and in the top echelon of Pinots from Mornington Peninsula. A beautiful red fruited perfume with stewed fruits. A percentage of whole bunch in the ferment. Richness on the palate with depth. A well made wine from a good vintage. Lucky I have one left. — 2 months ago

9.1

One of my all time favs.
Salty rocks with rioenleomes, lemon zest and even more salt & rocks. After some time some green melon emerges in the background Salty.
Love the contrast between the creamy mouthfeel with the salty, sharp acidity with rocky minerality. Beautiful depth & length. A truly lovely wine, year int year out. — 7 months ago
