Bellvale, The Quercus Vineyard, Gippsland, Victoria, 2009

Tasting: Tasmania & Victoria Pinot Noir

Sinewy, rather dry fruit scents. Lean, long, earthy; very Pinot, but not the roundest, or most poised style. Needs a little more fresh flesh; a little bit gaunt. Satisfying nonetheless, and very true to the varietal ideal.

Tasting: Tasmania & Victoria Pinot Noir

Robust wine with savoury flavours. Some green olive then a deep cherry intensity evolving in the mouth. Sweet lingering fruit on the palate, at the end a soft toasty nutty and mocha finish.

Tasting: Tasmania & Victoria Pinot Noir

Intense and rich with lovely red cherries and raspberry notes and a long, spicy aftertaste.
