Balanced notes of honey, bread and melon on the nose with a clean acidity and a sumptuous long finish.

A delicate nose of orange blossom with some nice slatey minerals that progress to the steely palette with a quite complex mouthfeel.

A smokey nose with peach skin and earthly mineral tones and a magnificently structured palette with bright, clean lemon lines and a creamy, stone fruit acidity.

A very fragrant nose with fleshy pears and a tight, oak perfume spine. The palette has that signature chewy acidity that balances well with the tangerine-based citrus elements and a bright, tangy finish.

A classic, Mornington Penninsula nose with vibrant red cherry fruits and dried herbs. The palette has a mouth-filling texture with a firm tannin grip.

For years the Yabby Lake Pinot Noirs have defined what winemakers can charge for Mornington Peninsula Pinot - always the benchmark for what this region can do - and while the prices have been going steadily north over this time, the quality of the wine from these vines is off the charts. Every year they look like more and more of a bargain.

The Block 1 has by far the best nose of all the Yabby Lake wines this year, with delicious red berry and perfumed vanillin from the oak with layers of earthiness. You really get a sense of the vineyard and as a result, this wine has so much character to show.

The palette is clean and pure with stewed red fruit and a silky mouthfeel that juxtaposes perfectly with the tangy acidity. These both give way to some soft tannins in the finish.

While the Block 2 currently has the blockbuster palette that this wine can't match at the moment, I think this is going to be the better wine in five to seven year's time.

My advice though: get both.

Each year, as the vines get more experience under their belt, these wines get more individual and personalised. There is less "Mornington Peninsula" and more "Yabby Lake".

This guy is a little darker and more brooding than the Block 1, with black cherry notes and smoky meats, but still laced with that balancing sweet red fruit.

You can see why the critics love this wine, with a juicy and clean palette with straight mineral lines directly from the soil and a perfect acid/tannin balance that makes this the wine to drink right now.

In time though, I'm betting the Block 1 will eclipse even this amazing wine.

The nose is a melting pot of lifted and expressive earth, berries and florals which is well integrated and seamless. The palette has sweet red fruits with dark spices and a fabulous acid/tannin balance that is elegant and mouth-filling.
