95 POINTS - Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot
"Another wine from this cool and damp vintage, presenting a triumph in both excellent vineyard management and sympathetic winemaking. The wine comes from three blocks with different clones and varying treatments, including whole bunch and de-stemmed. The final wine spent about 10 months in French Oak Hogsheads, with about 20% new. The aromas are spicy, truffly, with slightly sour cherry nuances. The palate has a deeper forest floor truffle complexity working neatly with those sour cherry flavours. It’s a delicate, finely balanced wine, poised and precise, presenting well as a wine to drink in the shorter term. Further cellaring will bring new dimensions. An impressive wine."
Appearance
Deep, vibrant cherry red in colour - a sign of the intense fruit concentration from such a low yielding vintage.
Aroma
It is a highly perfumed pinot noir with notes of morello cherry, thyme, blood plum, clove, and tahini, with lively whole-bunch aromas weaving their way through.
Palate
It has a fresh, bright palate where the acidity, tannin and fruit dance together. Flavours of pomegranite, fresh beetroot, and wet slate slowly unfurl as the wine opens up.

Mornington Peninsula Wines
South of Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula grape growing region has a cool, maritime climate that is most known for their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay production. Other varieties that have seen some success here include Pinot Gris and Tempranillo.
However, it does seem that Pinot Noir is their focus judging from the fact that The Mornington Peninsula International Pinot Noir Celebration is held once every two years. The event displays the region’s capabilities in making some of Australia’s finest Pinot Noir in front of local and international audiences.
