Pinot Noir

While we continue to expand our collection of Burgundies, more and more new-world winemakers are coming to terms with this challenging variety. Australians have identified Geelong, the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria as suited to premium Pinot Noir. More recently, Tasmania has shot up the ranks. Mount Mary, Farr Rising and Tolpuddle are names to seek out. New Zealand is also producing some compelling, full bodied wines. Look for regions like Martinborough, Marlborough and Central Otago.

Other Reviews…..
From the Upper Ngumby Vineyard in Yarra Glen; 25% new wood. A lively crimson. Bright aromas of red stone fruits and redcurrants complemented by a little pepper and some rose petal. Elegant and refined on the palate, with silky, fine-grained and balanced tannins rounding out a wine that can be enjoyed now but that will also reward another four to six years in the cellar. Drink by 2029.

2024 Stargazer Pinot Noir

Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
Reduced from $79.99
$69. 99
Bottle
$839.88 Dozen

ABV: 12.5%

Closure: Stelvin

Founded by winemaker Samantha Connew, Stargazer has become one of Tasmania's most compelling small producers, crafting wines of precision and quiet intensity from the Coal River and Derwent Valleys. Whether Riesling, Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, each release reflects a meticulous, hands-off approach and a focus on texture, energy and site expression. For many, Stargazer marks the sweet spot between refinement and individuality in modern Tasmanian wine.
The 2023 Pinot Noir comes exclusively from Stargazer's own vineyards in the Tea Tree sub-region of the Coal River Valley, where two separate parcels were planted in 2002 and 2017 respectively. The vineyard is composed of different clones, with most being G5V12 or Wadenswil, with some Abel, 115, 777, and MV6 clones added from the 2017 planting. The fruit is hand-picked, and destemmed (with 25% kept as whole bunches) to vats, where they undergo a cold soak for three days before fermentation begins. After primary fermentation, the must is pressed to French oak puncheons (with 30% being new), where it matures on lees for eight months before being transferred, racked, and blended in a tank for a further rest of six weeks before bottling.
Other Reviews....
The 2024 Palisander Pinot Noir leads with a very attractive waft of reduction. It speaks to forest floor and growing moss, alongside the plethora of dark fruits on display. In the mouth, the wine speaks of its whole-bunch component (25%) in its spices, tannin shape and length through the finish. You get blood orange, Campari, dark chocolate, raw cocoa, cherry pip and raspberry. A wholly classy and sophisticated wine, it goes beyond simple fruit expression and offers dimensional texture and clever winemaking. 12.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2026-2036.

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
If you seek a fruit-pure, flint-struck pinot noir, you are indeed in the right place. Those reductive tones lie nicely simpatico with the pure red/dark cherry, plum and raspberry fruits and there are hints of medina spice, amaro, twiggy bits, turned earth, crushed mountain herbs and purple florals in the mix. On the palate, there is a fine balance and tension between fruit, reduction and fine minerality. The wine shows a composed, complex array of spice, sinew and lovely pure fruit, finishing long, flinty and true. Drink 2025-2038.

An all but imperceptible touch of wood easily allows the pretty and attractively fresh aromas of red and dark cherry, humus and newly turned earth to shine. The rich and solidly concentrated medium-bodied flavors possess a velvety mid-palate texture while offering good if not distinguished length on the rustic finale. Drink through 2026+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound
The 2020 Auxey-Duresses Rouge comes mainly from the lieu-dit of "Les Heptures". The bouquet is richer, more opulent than the Monthélie, well defined red cherries and wild strawberry. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red berry fruit, fine acidity, taut and fresh with gentle grip on the linear finish that has lovel sapidity. Very fine. Drink 2024-2036.

Bottle

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
Spicier aromas include those of red cherry coulis, plum, more discreet earth and pretty floral nuances. There is fine density to the medium-bodied flavors that are blessed with an abundance of dry extract that imparts a sappy texture to the firm, serious and built-to-age finale. This will need to add depth to achieve the upper end of my projected range, but the potential appears to be present. Worth checking out. Drink through 2030+.
90-93 points
Allen Meadows - Burghound
The 2020 Volnay Santenots 1er Cru was the first vineyard harvested and even so, I feel this is the one cuvée with suggestions of slight sur-maturité. The palate is medium-bodied pliant tannins, quite sweet and candied, fleshy with wild strawberry, raspberry and white pepper towards the finish. Fine, but I think Matrot’s Maranges La Fussière is better. Drink 2025-2045.
90-92 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
One plot in Santenots Blancs, otherwise ‘sous le camping’ which is Les Plures. Not as dense in purple as the village Meursault. Not quite the density, softer at the finish, lower acidity, attractive but not quite convincing.

The 2022 Volnay Vieilles Vignes is completely de-stemmed. Brambly red fruit and light tertiary scents on the nose that sports a minor reduction. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, not a complex Volnay, but fresh with fine backbone and respectable mineralité on the finish. A well-crafted Volnay. Drink 2025-2035.

This site can ripen rapidly, but Glantenay appears to have picked the 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots at the perfect date, delivering a medium to full-bodied, velvety and harmonious wine evocative of sweet cherries, dark berries, licorice and spices. Supple and seamless, with sweet, powdery tannins, it will offer a broad drinking window.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 19, 2024)
The 2022 Volnay Les Santenots 1er Cru was completely de-stemmed as Glantenay finds that the terroir already provides sufficient tannins. The nose is delineated and focused with blackberry, bilberry and light oyster shell scents. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins. Plenty of freshness here, quite citric in style, with white pepper and clove towards the finish. Good persistence and freshness. This should mature with class. Drink 2026-2046.

The 2022 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru contains 25% to 30% whole bunches this vintage. The energetic bouquet offers redcurrant and raspberry fruit, fine mineralité and tension. Hints of black truffle shavings emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. There’s a liberal sprinkling of black pepper here, the stem addition perhaps the most tangible amongst the cuvées yet commensurate with the fruit concentration. This is another success for the estate in 2022. Drink 2026-2046.

The 2022 Volnay Les Caillerets 1er Cru is blended with 50% whole bunches, the most of any cuvée in Glantenay's range. The stems are quite potent on the nose, very floral - wilted roses in an antique vase, crushed stone and a touch of truffle oil. The palate is medium-bodied with brittle tannins. Quite saline, which gets the saliva flowing. This is perhaps the most powerful wine on the finish, with a long, spicy aftertaste. Excellent. Drink 2026-2048.

The latest rendition of a cuvée that goes from strength to strength, Glantenay's old vine 2019 Pommard 1er Cru Les Saussilles offers up notions of Griotte cherries, cassis, potpourri and dark chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, racy and concentrated, with superb depth at the core and a saline finish, it's well worth seeking out. As I've written before, this climat takes its name from the Combe Saussilles, a shallow ravine that divides the communes of Beaune and Pommard—and, importantly, an air drainage for cool breezes from the Hautes-Côtes.

The 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Brouillards is showing very well, bursting with notes of smoky berry fruit, plums and spices. Medium to full-bodied, gourmand and enveloping, with fine tannins and lively acids, it's a touch more dynamic than the similarly sensual 2018 rendition.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 2021)
The 2019 Volnay Les Brouillards 1er Cru, which includes around 25% whole bunch fruit, has an open and transparent nose of brambly red fruit laced with sous-bois. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red berry fruit laced with graphite. This is taut and fresh, a Volnay belying the warmth of the growing season with a vivacious, limestone-driven finish. Classic in style, this Volnay should give 15-20 years of drinking pleasure. Drink 2022 - 2040.

Other Reviews....
The 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots was the last wine in the cellar to finish its malolactic fermentation, and its bouquet of smoky blackberries and cherries was still comparatively unformed. Medium to full-bodied, layered and lively, its bright acids and powdery tannins mark it out as a particular success this year.
91-93+ points
William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 2021)
The 2019 Volnay Les Santenots 1er Cru is the only cru completely de-seemed as Glantenay felt that it was already powerful. It has a clean and pure bouquet with red cherries and wild strawberry, undergrowth and light black pepper scents. The palate is well balanced, succulent and fleshy, a generous Santenots that benefits from Glantenay's decision to eschew stems. Quite saline on the finish, this is excellent. Drink 2024 - 2040.

A firm, tannin-strict style with dried Italianate herbs draped on dark cherry, cola, faint mocha and some granitic, smoky elements, all playing well together.

Sumac and strawberries, paprika and lingonberries. Red fruit is taut and crunches with bursting acidity. A small portion of new oak adds some floral spice, potpourri and rose spray. Some Jarrah wood, cedar and red clay earth tones add further dimension. I find it so hard to fault the Yering Station line for its fruit purity, presence and price point. All is considered and makes for a harmonious drink, now and in the near future. This will show well in another 3-6 years further. Drink with simmered slices of thin pork in a cabbage and mushroom stew. Drink 2026-2032.

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Stelvin

When the Scottish-born Ryrie brothers planted vines in 1838, their land, named ‘Yering’ by the First Nations People, became Victoria’s first vineyard. In 1996, the Rathbone family purchased Yering Station and transformed it into a regional icon. The vines are meticulously managed using precision viticulture technology and careful handwork to ensure the highest quality fruit reaches the winery and, ultimately, the bottle.
Their flagship "Reserve" Pinot Noir is produced only in the best years, using the finest parcels of fruit. The Reserve wines represent the pinnacle of their efforts, capturing the essence of variety, viticulture, location, season, and winemaking in its purest form.
Other Reviews....
The 2021 Pinot Noir Reserve is very appealing as it delivers energetic red and dark cherry aromas, with a gentle dusting of violets and dried herbs. Fleshy and mouth-filling, there is a hearty core of earthy/mushroom flavors and old spices, al-dente tannins providing some support. Gravelly minerality adds a savory counterpoint that lingers through to the finish. This needs at least a couple of years to settle. Drink 2025 - 2031.

Brendan Hawker’s first beginning-to-end reserve pinot. A 70/30% split of MV6/Abel clones; 5% whole bunches and matured in 500L French puncheons (15% new). A bright, deep-ish crimson purple. Darkly fruited and immediately seductive with its aromas of black raspberries, dark cherry, spice and discreet oak. There's an old-vine creaminess on the palate and you barely notice the wine's firm, velvety and persistent tannins. It's great now and it'll be great in 10 years. Drink 2022 - 2032.

This vineyard is planted to the MV6 clone. 3/4s of the berries are destemmed into an open fermenter on top of the remaining quarter, which is whole bunches. Pressed into French oak barrels, 10% new, the wine spent ten months maturing before a further six months in tank on lees. The colour here is a very pale crimson. This is an elegant style of Pinot with aromas of rose petals, red fruits, cherries, spices and bay leaves. A fine line of acidity, this is a medium weight style with very good length. On the palate, we see hints of red berries and even a hint of stalkiness emerging. The satiny tannins are finely woven throughout the persistent finish. A ten year proposition. Drink 2025-2035.

ECK Wines is the work of Emily C. Kinsman, a former Collins Street lawyer who traded city life for winemaking in Central Victoria. Since her first vintage in 2019, Emily has grown organically farmed Shiraz on the northern banks of Lake Eppalock while also producing négociant wines under her ECK label. In 2024, she expanded to a remarkable 5-acre Macedon Ranges vineyard, planted in 1987 to Pinot Noir and Gewürztraminer at 800m altitude. Her wines reflect both place and passion—crafted with love, hope, and no small measure of hard work.
The 2023 Doug’s Pinot Noir is a rare expression of Macedon Ranges fruit, sourced from Doug’s vineyard in the cool sub-region of Romsey. Planted in the 2000s at 530m on a north-facing basalt slope, the site is home to a mix of MV6, 114, and 115 clones, producing fruit of purity and finesse.
Hand-picked on April 26, the grapes were vinified with a mix of techniques—whole bunch and whole berry ferments in amphora, alongside de-stemmed fruit fermented in open vats with daily plunging. After pressing, the wine matured for 14 months in seasoned French oak barriques and amphora, before being bottled unfined and unfiltered in December 2024.

This displays plenty of Gevrey character with its overtly sauvage aromas of warm earth, plum and humus. There is an abundance of old vine sap present on the medium-bodied flavors that buffers the moderately firm tannic spine on the firm and mildly rustic finale. I like the overall depth and this should also be approachable young yet reward 6 to 9 years of cellaring too. Recommended.

Caroline Morey comes from a long line of vignerons based in the Cotes de Beaune and is also married to Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey. In 2014 Caroline took her share of some family vineyards from her father Jean-Marc and created her own domaine based in Chassagne-Montrachet, working out of brand new cellars built for Caroline and her husband.

For her first vintage in 2014 she had small holdings in Chassagne-Montrachet for both red and white together with small holdings in Santenay and Hautes Cotes de Beaune totaling just 2.4 hectares. With more vineyards added both from family and acquisitions in the last few years, the total is now 7 hectares in total for Caroline with roughly half for red and half for whites.

Other Reviews....
A similar if slightly fresher nose gives way to slightly more energetic and subtly mineral-inflected flavors that are also slightly drying and short. It would be fair to make the same observation here as I did with the Chainey that this is pretty enough but the balance isn't entirely dialed in.

Closure: Cork

In 1994, having previously done six month internships with Henry Jayer and Domaine Drouhin, Oregon, Jean-Marie Fourrier took over the domaine from his father Jean-Claude who had been working the vines since the early age of just fourteen. Upon inheriting these vineyards he was keen to move away from his fathers methods of blending all grapes from their many vineyards together, to showcasing each on their own. The results of all this meticulous work are very appealing wines, each of which shows the character of its provenance clearly.

All the wines, whether village or grand cru, are matured in 20% new oak, the idea being to keep renewing the barrel cellar rather than to influence the fruit with any barrel flavours. The wines are not racked at all until transferred to tank about two months before bottling in the spring, eighteen months after harvest.

Aromas of ripe cherries, citrus rind and rose petal preface the 2017 Bourgogne Rouge, a medium-bodied, supple and succulent wine that's charming and fruit-driven. It will offer considerable early appeal.

An obsession with a fickle varietal.

Once you experience it, you never forget it. For some wine lovers, Pinot Noir becomes an obsession. While promising one of world's greatest wine experiences, it can also deliver some of the most disappointing. What is it about Pinot that makes it so frustratingly variable? There are known quality factors which offer encouragement to winemakers. Micro-climates have been observed to play an important part in a successful matrix, particularly the diurnal temperature range. Pinot Noir is a little like Riesling, in the sense that it requires warm, but not overly hot days and cool nights to fully develop its maximum flavour potential. Sunshine hours, rainfall, time and rate of precipitation are all important. Countering this is the fact that the same clone will not respond to differences in micro-climate in the same way. Older vines make better wines. Creative and adaptive viticultural management and winemaking are essential. Buy Pinot Noir online. Any questions about our products or shipping?
