Pale Ruby bright red. Red cherry fruit, rose petals, violets and cinnamon with a touch of whole bunch influence. A lovely, fluid,medium bodied textured palate showing red cherry, strawberry and a touch of raspberry. A very delicious and polished Pinot Noir with high scores from all the Pros who tasted it. HH rated this #1 of 110 Pinot Noirs from Tasmania from the 2013 vintage. Obviously an exceptional terroir. Luckily I have one left.

Pale to mid crimson in colour. Red fruit aromas - dirty cherry with just the right amount of whole bunch adding the complexity. On the palate just medium weight but with structure and balance. A serious Pinot from the excellent Coal River of Tasmania. My first of 3 from the 2013 vintage. I should leave the next one for at least 2 years if I can keep my hands off it. Footnote: Our Delectable friend, Scott Rowe, who works for the owners has pretty much nailed this wine. Just read several of his previous notes. “Get some” he says! I totally agree.

Another check in with the early vintage.
Will also monitor closely track progress.
A glorious example of the early days in the vineyard finding our feet.
2017 shows how far we’ve come and still got a ways to go 💪🏼

Looking bright and fruitful.
Colour is strong, flavour is stronger.
A long life ahead.

Being biased paid off on this one, 3rd wine of the 2nd flight and we have a winner. White pepper on the nose, very clean and age worthy. Get some of this!!
