Definitely more Earthy than many Aussies but with a full set of flavors and a length that is less common. Up front you can tell it's got some age on it but the finish is quite good and reveals no harsh edges. The only thing holding it back is a muted mid-palette.

A clean and well-balanced pinot that is severely underrated. Great fruit on the front, mostly red but the black fruit hits you at the end. Impressive length and acidity make this an excellent value.
