2016 Oakridge Over the Shoulder Pinot Noir

This Pinot Noir was sourced from vineyards in Gladysdale (40%), Woori Yallock (39%) and Coldstream (21%) with the inclusion of 10% whole bunch fruit. Maturation took place in mixture of barriques, hogsheads and puncheons for 10 months.

A great value Yarra Valley Pinot Noir.

Semi translucent bright dark red colour with a light crimson red hue. Fragrant aromas of dark cherries and strawberries laced with violets emanate from the glass trailed by a light meatiness and spicy cedar. Light and fresh, delicious ripe dark cherry and strawberry flavours fill the palate with an undercurrent of meaty characters and spicy cedar. Slightly dryish but finely grained tannins. Good depth with an aftertaste of spicy dark cherries, strawberries, some meatiness and earthy cedar. Cellar 4-5 years.
