By Farr Farrside Pinot Noir 2021 [JH 96]
The structure of this wine is next level. It's a meaty, minerally, undergrowth-driven pinot noir with cool cherry and herb flavours, rhubarb-like bass notes, an emphatic firmness and excellent length. The dryness of the finish here is something in itself: it's like twigs rolled in earth rolled in tobacco.96 points. Campbell Mattinson Published 20 October 2023. The Farrside vineyard sits on a northeast-facing slope and consists of limestone topped with black volcanic soil. The vines were planted in 2001 and run east-west to protect the fruit from overexposure to the sun. The clones are a mixture of 114, 115, 777, 667 and MV6....
Cantina Kaltern Alto Adige Pinot Nero 2020 (WA 92)
Wine Advocate 92 points. This is a terrific entry-level red that offers plenty of varietal typicity with a very attractive price tag. The Cantina Kaltern 2020 Alto Adige Pinot Nero delivers all the goods: freshness, elegance and a no-fuss style to pair with white meat or even a spaghetti allo scoglio with seafood and chopped tomato, if served a few degrees chilled. I'd suggest buying this wine by the case, not by the bottle, and make sure to drink it while all that beautiful primary fruit is still intact. Some 95,000 bottles were made.ML Sep 2021. #Alto

Coldstream Hills Reserve Pinot Noir 2022 [JH 97]
Cellar Door Price 85 aud. All estate fruit, including the Amphitheatre A and G blocks; 15% whole bunches and matured in French barriques (57% new). A bright, deep-ish crimson. With its aromas of black cherries, violets, brown spices and a touch of freshly hung meat, there's lots going on in this compelling wine. The palate is brooding and structured and while you will no doubt enjoy this now with some food, the best is at least four to six years away, if not longer. Worth every cent. Drink: 2025 - 2035; Price: $85.00; Date Tasted: December 2023; Alcohol: 13.5%; Rating: 97 Points & Special Value Star; James Halliday Wine...
Dalwhinnie Three Valleys Pinot Noir Tasmania 2020 [WS 98]
Winestate Magazine, Trophy, Best in Category, 98 points. HUON HOOKE, THE REAL REVIEW 2022, 95 points. "Medium depth purple-red colour, very bright and youthful, the aromas are of fragrant spices and red cherries: a really beautiful bouquet. The palate follows on from there and is intense and superbly balanced, with raspberry and red licorice added to the cherry. A subtle smoky patina from oak. Fruit-sweet core, and a long, long carry: a magical pinot." WINEMAKING Heralding from three exceptional sites of Huon Valley, Lower Derwent Valley and Coal River Valley, each parcel of fruit was then fermented and matured separately in large...
Greystone Pinot Noir 2019 Organic [MC 98]
Michael Cooper 98 points: "Deeply coloured, it is mouthfilling, with concentrated plummy, spicy flavours, youthful and complex, and a finely textured, lasting finish. Set for a long life, it’s well worth cellaring." Michael Cooper 5 stars - Winestate. Winery Note: Our estate grown Pinot Noir with generous richness & flavour concentration. Layers of ripe fruit, floral and spice unfold on the palate with a delicate tannin line. Unfined and bottled on site. Over 60% of our vines are Pinot Noir and the whole reason we exist on these limestone slopes is to make great Pinot. These calcareous clay soils...
Mount Pleasant Old Hill Pinot Noir 2021 [JH 95]
This wine has been handled with kid gloves: hand picked and destemmed, 10% retained as whole bunches. Held in cold soak for three days, open fermented with thrice daily plunging; eight days on skins, then matured in French puncheons for eight months. The colour is excellent, and the abundant red fruits and superfine tannins are as good as they come. A new Hunter Valley style that challenges the idea that the Hunter is too hot for pinot noir. 95 points. James Halliday Published 14 February 2023. This rare wine is produced from the original pinot noir vines brought to Australia by James Busby.in 1833.
Stoney Rise Pinot Noir 2022 [JH 96]
Tasmanian pinot noir is capturing global attention at the moment. When we shown a small allocation of this one we swooped. "Mixed clones; 85% estate, 15% contract grown; 100% destemmed, seven different ferments; matured for 9 months in used foudres and barrels. The bouquet is full to the brim of dark cherry and poached plum; the palate is glorious, fresh and vibrant, with sparklets of spices on a barely obvious film of tannins. Drink to: 2035; Alcohol: 12.5%; Rating: 96 Points & Special Value Star; James Halliday."
