  A wonderful Pinot Noir that really showcases the winemakers ability to make a wine of balance, length, complexity and intensity.
  
  There is not as much earth and umami in this Pinot Noir as some might expect in a Burgundy or Central Otago. This is more floral - violets, red fruits and light black fruits. It's the perfect weight of alcohol, acid and fruit, all so wonderfully integrated. I really loved drinking this wine and it stood out from a wide range of Pinots from across Australia. Something truly special.

  Return to Aus; 6/23/2019-7/5/2019 (Adelaide, South Australia wine regions, Tassie, Yarra, etc.): From some fairly old plantings in the valley (69, 81, 84). This is more on the savory side. Some red fruits. A nice spice. The biggest difference I get between this one and the Carrodus that we had alongside is the texture of the wine. This was a touch more disjointed. Still good, but that did seem to go up a level.
