Medium red in colour, the nose shows good varietal expression with dark cherry, stem and a touch of cedary oak.
The wine is certainly in it's infancy with plenty of acid evident on the medium bodied palate The cherry and spice characters of the wine are appealing and will develop to become more dominant with time in the cellar. Review Link - www.winereviewer.com.au (drink from 2013-2017)

Taste of Tasmania 10/11 (Hobart): {screwcap, A$33} Young nose of cherries and sap. The nose hints at coarseness, but the palate is much silkier in texture than anticipated. There are cherry/kirsch flavours, low-medium tannins, just a dusting of oak and medium acids; it all adds up to a light-medium bodied wine with a shortish finish sitting on the front and mid-palate. It’s OK, but getting expensive for what it is; might be better to wait for the Reserve wine which usually is twice the wine for 50% more money…

9/10/2011 - chatters Does not like this wine:
Taste of Tasmania Tasting 2011 (Oak Barrel, Elizabeth Street, Sydney): Slight jammy red fruit compote over spice, especially white pepper. In the mouth it has very chalky and coarse tannin over slight red fruit and a short finish. Oh dear.

stonger pinto style. Nice bouquet. less fruit than other varieties. Long finish. Can benefit by decanting and cellaring another 3-4 yrs
