Tasting Notes
This elegant Macedon ranges Pinot Noir has violet and mixed forest berry notes, with fine spice aromas including dried sage and lemon grass. Hints of charcuterie set a brooding tone, whilst notes of graphite powder and raspy grape seed oil add complexity. The wine has intrigue and flair in the glass, if you can let it rest, telling a story whilst evolving through time. Maraschino cherries and violet tones fill the palate. There are complexities galore, some cherry pith, mocha, Campari like, all sitting on a precise palate of lacey fine tannins with lovely acid core.
