Bought this at the winery in February 2019. Returning to the Mornington Peninsula this coming Christmas and having a tasting and lunch at Montalto - also a viewing of all the sculptures throughout the vineyard. Pale crimson with a tawny rim. Transparent. Dried cherry, roses with noticeable whole bunch influence. On the medium weight palate dried cherry raspberries and spice drawer with superb savoury texture. A good example as to why Mornington Peninsula is an excellent terroir for Pinot Noir (and Chardonnay).

Touch more leaf here than fruit; spice (cardamom perhaps); former, more forward. Exquisite wine.
