2007 Merricks Creek Pinot Noir

The wine was matured for 19 months in 40% new French oak and 60% 1 year and 2 year old French oak.

Winemaker Nick Farr has produced an excellent example of Mornington Pinot Noir.
Semi translucent dark crimson red mauve colour with crimson mauve hue. Perfumed aromas of violets and dark cherry followed by some spicy cedar, smoke and earth notes. Light to medium bodied palate with flavours of dark spicy cherry, dark plum and game followed by some spice, cedar and earth on the back palate. Excellent power wave with very fine grained silky smooth tannins. Long aftertaste of dark cherry, spice, game and earth.
