air guitar & pinot noir Likes this wine: 93 points
May 16, 2024 - A bit reticent and soft initially with prevailing red fruit flavors, red raspberry and red cherry. Medium-bodied and I think it will benefit from additional time to fully integrate and likely gain a bit more depth. Consistent with historical Rosella profile and fruit. Maybe a touch less of the terroir characteristics usually present. Give it a bit more time and likely be further rewarded.

September 21, 2023 - The fruit-forward nose wafts a core of really deep cherry, strawberry, and red plum. With extended air it develops love florals and some earthiness. This one is full bodied, very round and plush. At first it’s soft, but air draws out the super finely grained tannins and helps it develop a sensational mouthfeel. The flavor profile includes sweet cherry and raspberry, violet, spicy black pepper, and plum. Extended aeration transitions it from red-fruited to dark-fruited in nature as the tannins get grippier. At the same time, it develops a non-bitter black tea note. It’s the least developed of the 2021 pinots, but it also has the best balance. I’d be tempted to lay this one
down for at least seven years. -
