Oakridge
864 Single Block Release Guerin Vineyard Pinot Noir
Yarra Valley, Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia
Notes of cherry strawberry and varnish. Medium- intensity. Light to medium weight. Lacking in power. When decanting no sediment at all - drained the bottle! A little disappointing overall with poor QPR.

Jun 22nd, 2017Light to medium ruby with tawny rim - very Burgundian in colour. Sappy earthy and more old world than new. A nice counterpoint to the majority of NZ Pinots tasted last week, in Wellington, particularly the fuller bodied Otago styles.

Feb 5th, 2017Some sappy berry varnishy notes on nose. Light to medium weight palate with lingering intensity. More Burgundian than New World. 2012 vintage.

Jun 21st, 2016A little disappointing for the maker, the 864, and the vintage 2012. Light to medium in colour and palate. Good intensity and it will be interesting to try this in a year or 2. 17-

May 1st, 2014This is impressive. Pure fruit, great balance, deep enticing aromas, wonderful texture. I'd love to see this with a few years behind it but tts drinking well enough now.
