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.

2021 Bindi Block 5 Pinot Noir

Macedon Ranges, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$170. 00
Bottle
$2040.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Diam Cork

Bindi's Block 5 Pinot Noir is sourced from their 1992 "high-density" vineyard planting. Fruit is fermented in open vats and matured in French oak barrels of which 35% are new for a period of 15-17 months. In recent years, Bindi has intentionally reduced Block 5's yields by approximately 30% to enhance the quality of the fruit.
Other Reviews....
Bindi's Block 5 and Block 8 are adjacent sites. The former was planted in 1992, the latter in ’16 and at high density. I wonder what they ‘talk about’ (they’ll be communicating via their root systems). Block 5 might say: I’m older and my wine reveals a depth. Yes it does. Beautifully modulated with perfect fruit flavours, a richness yet not weighty, layers of spice, cedary oak, complexity and detail. The tannins are the thing – textural, raw silk-like and pure. This is stunning. In response, Block 8 might add: I respect you, but wait until you see what I’m going to become. Drink 2023 - 2035.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
Over the years, the most impressive wines I’ve had from Bindi have been made from Chardonnay, which is not to say I’m right, but more something that has stuck with me. Here we have the venerable Block 5, which for me is significantly better and more composed than the Block 8, which is priced the same. OK.
|Cherry, dried flowers and roses, almond, hazelnut and spice, cedar and mint. It’s medium-bodied, lovely mouth-perfume, and so much of that, a little sap, raspberry and red cherry, quite juicy, tannin is succulent yet firm, with a graphite character, quiet earthiness, and just so composed and long. It’s a wine of beauty and poise. A little cinnamon toast and orange peel carries in the aftertaste. Benchmark Pinot. That’s what I’m talking about! Drink 2025 - 2035+

2020 Bindi Original Vineyard Pinot Noir

Macedon Ranges, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$89. 99
Bottle
$1079.88 Dozen

ABV: 12.5%

Closure: Diam Cork

Notes from the producer....
The 2020 Original Vineyard spent 16 months in barrel. This wine comes from our 1988 planting. As always, it's beautifully fragrant of red fruits, with subtle earthiness and undergrowth giving added complexity. It is definitely expressive Pinot Noir! The palate is supple, juicy, textured, fine and long. The tannin builds and drives whilst remaining silky smooth and elegant. History tells us this wine will improve for at least six more years and drink well beyond that.

Notes from the producer....
The 2020 Block 5 spent 16 months in barrel. This wine comes from our 1992 planting. The 2020 has its usual combination of red and dark berry and plum fruit depth with spice, earth and a certain lavish richness. The palate is fresh and initially supple then builds power and drives long. It is quite structured and powerful and will certainly improve in texture and complexity for at least six years. Due to the incredibly small crop this wine is incredibly difficult to allocate.

From the newer block on the Mayer home estate. This is all destemmed fruit which is a departure in winemaking approach too.
Very dark cherry schism of pinot noir, some choc-coffee notes, sweet, turned earth notes. Strong perfume. Supple in palate, shiny, fresh, dark fruited but lively, crisp tannins and jolly-good-time vibes. A sense of fanciness for sure, but mostly about the big drinkability scale things. Drink 2021 - 2025.

This is fine boned but quite assertive, structured and tannin-hewn with autumnal characters, dried leaves, porcini, game meat, in darker, brambly berries.

2022 Bodega Chacra Treinta Y Dos Pinot Noir

Patagonia, ARGENTINA
$240. 00
Bottle
$2880.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Treinta y Dos is a single vineyard wine, made from old vineyards planted in 1932 on a land layered with clay, sand and pebbles. The most structured of all Chacra’s wines, Chacra Treinta y Dos is meant to be aged. Its soft characteristics and velvety tannins, however, make it drinkable at a younger age.
Other Reviews....
A beautiful, nervy pinot here. Such purity and depth on the nose for a pinot that barely has any extraction. Tile, flowers, minerals and racy crushed raspberries and wild strawberries. Tense and pretty on the palate with incredible vibrancy and verve. Naturally structured. Long and really refined. So subtle, yet it lasts almost two minutes. Full of fruit. A step up from 2021. Around 50% whole bunch. Drink or hold.

45% concrete, 1st 2nd 3rd 4th oak. 6783 bottles. 1932 plantings. It seems to me, tasting this 2022, and the 2023 wines, that Chacra have relaxed their foot on the winemaking pedal, and to great effect.
Concentrated and firm, dried cherry and raspberry, some biscuitty oak, floral too. Medium-bodied, so much quality tannin here, and richness of fruit, yet still fresh and vibrant, violet perfume, a cool ‘mineral’ feel, and even some liquorice to close on a finish of impeccable length. Superb wine.Drink 2025 - 2035+.

2022 Bodega Chacra Cincuenta Y Cinco Pinot Noir

Patagonia, ARGENTINA
$120. 00
Bottle
$1440.00 Dozen

ABV: 12%

Closure: Cork

Bodega Chacra was formed in 2004 by Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, the grandson of Sassicaia’s founder, Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta. Piero always wanted to do his own thing independent of family ties, and in 2004 he heard about an abandoned Pinot vineyard in Patagonia that was originally planted in 1932 and knew immediately it was the opportunity he had been looking for. And so began what is now Bodega Chacra, generally recognised as the greatest Pinot Noir produced in South America. Over time another vineyard from 1955 was added, while a conversation between friends has turned into a partnership with esteemed Burgundian Chardonnay producer Jean-Marc Roulot joining Piero in Patagonia in planting, farming, and vinification of Chardonnay at Chacra.
Located in the Rio Negro Valley in northern Patagonia, Argentina, Bodega Chacra is comprised of 24 hectares of vineyards planted mainly to Pinot Noir, along with a small amount of Chardonnay. Piero also values responsible farming as demonstrated by his grandfather at Sassicaia, and each of the vineyards are tended using organic and biodynamic principles. After hand harvesting, the fruit is handled the gentlest way possible, with movements transferred by gravity, fermentation occurring in concrete, minimal new oak usage, and no fining or filtration at bottling. Piero's aim is to retain greater purity and transparency, and it's this ability for his wines to so clearly express their origin that's so engaging with Chacra wines. It's also one of the key attributes that only the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay across the globe are able to achieve.

Fresh and floral nose with tiles, vibrant red berries and pomegranate. Stony, mineral verve. Pure and expressive with good tension on the medium-bodied palate. Silky, very nimble and elegant. Acidic red berries in the finish that cleanse the palate. So much drinkability. Drink or hold. From biodynamically grown grapes.

From 1955 plantings. One thing to note, is that for premium wines, the bottles are pretty lightweight. Good!
Raspberry and cherry pip, spice, a liquorice/fennel perfume, stony, a little peppery. Medium-bodied, spicy red fruit, some rhubarb and strawberry pie, kind of juicy, but also tight, sappy, and controlled with a distinct cool ‘mineral’ feel to it. Tannin is dusty and gently peppery, and the finish is stony and long. Outstanding. Love these wines. Drink 2024 - 2034+.

Pomegranate, wild herbs and lots of fresh raspberries to the nose. Subtle, pure and tense with a fine austerity to the center-palate. Refined and medium-bodied on the palate.

From 1932 plantings, hence the name.
A bit reduced and smoky to start. Spicy, dark cherry, ferrous, perfumed under the sullen introduction. Intense, purple tasting wine, crushed rock, texture is a highlight, and it’s dense but not heavy, which I feel is an attribute of many a great wine. Red fruits and cool acidity on a very long finish. So distinctive. Needs some time, but such a terrific wine. Drink 2025 - 2035+.

Fruit is hand harvested, fermented in concrete, transferred by gravity and treated in the gentlest way possible without fining or filtration in order to produce wines with transparency.
Barda hails mostly from ungrafted vines that are 25 years old, along with fruit from the 1955 and 1932 vineyard. Maturation is completed 60% in concrete to enhance the fresh and crunchy nature of this Pinot Noir.
Other Reviews....
The 2021 Barda has moderate ripeness and alcohol (12.5%) while retaining very good freshness. After fermenting with some 15% full clusters in concrete with indigenous yeasts, 60% of the volume matured in French oak barrels (10% of them new), usually the more structured lots, while the rest was kept in concrete (the lighter lots) to keep the freshness and crunchiness of Pinot Noir. It was conceived as an easy-to-drink wine from their younger vines, but it has more depth than just that and it's quite versatile with food. 2021 was a cooler year, with frost in the winter that killed all the bugs, and they had a good crop (they usually get 35 to 50 hectoliters per hectare, maybe a little higher for Barda). It's fresh, vertical and mineral with a saline twist that is more noticeable with lower alcohol. It's the same genetic material as the rest, a massal selection planted ungrafted with some 20 years of age, and he sometimes gets declassified grapes or wines from the older vineyards (Cincuenta y Cinco and Treinta y Dos). This is the true second wine from Chacra. It has a pale and bright ruby color and a very clean and expressive nose, with some leafy notes, red fruit, hints of orange peel and a vibrant palate with purity of flavors, young and energetic. Piero Incisa told me this vintage reminds him of 2013; so, I looked up my description of that wine, and it is quite similar to this. Delicious and amazing value. A perfect introduction to Chacra... 70,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2022. Drink 2022 - 2027.

Cherry, rhubarb, slightly floral, with a distinct oysters shell/briny thing happening, a dusting of cinnamon. Medium-bodied, raspberry, poached strawberry and cherry, saline, quite soft in the mouth with gentle stony tannin and quiet acidity, but does have a little sappiness and a finish of solid length, with a savoury and amaro aftertaste. It doesn’t have the cut and intensity of the more expensive Pinot Noir offerings from this producer, but it’s still a lovely thing to drink. Drink 2022 - 2026.

Sin Azufre is a passion project for Piero, with zero sulphur additions the team take extreme care and attention to detail with this wine. Precise selection of bunches within the 1955 vineyard, which is then aged mostly in concrete.
Other Reviews....
The 2021 Sin Azufre is the no-sulfur-added cuvée of Pinot Noir from organic and biodynamic grapes from vines planted in 1955. It fermented in concrete with indigenous yeasts for 15 days and matured 60% in French oak barrels, 30% in concrete tanks and 10% in clay amphorae for nine months. It's light and fresh with 12% alcohol. The first vintage of this wine in 2013 changed everything, and today all the wines have very little sulfur. The nose is alive and expressive, denoting a living wine with hints of organic earth and tons of flowers and translucent red berries. It's clean, precise and chiseled, with pungent flavor, weightless but full of energy and light, with purity of flavors and symmetry. There are no hints of a wine with no sulfur added. It's just a superb expression of Pinot. Purity without funkiness. 12,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2021. Drink 2022 - 2028.

Other Reviews....
The élevage for the 2021 Cincuenta y Cinco was different from the past; they have now aged 40% in concrete tanks (it used to be 25%), 40% in French oak barrels and 20% in clay amphorae for nine months. They use cover crops in the vineyard, where they don't even use sulfur or copper. It fermented in a round and wide concrete vat with indigenous yeasts for 12 to 15 days with full clusters and an infusion with little extraction. It has moderate ripeness and 12% alcohol, with more tension than the others. This is basically the same wine as the Sin Azufre but with a little more oak, which is barely noticeable but with some spiciness and Burgundian character developing tantalizing notes of violet pastille with time in the glass. It has a bright ruby color and a complex and subtle nose full of elegance and nuance. The palate is medium-bodied, with very fine tannins and supple flavors, primary, young and apparently weightless and ethereal but full of inner energy. It has bright flavors of fresh cherries and raspberries and a citrus twist of orange peel that adds freshness. Gobsmacking! 30,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2021. Drink 2022 - 2034.

From vines planted in 1955 on a sea of pebbles. Bam bam.
Raspberry, dried cherry, a little aniseed and floral top note, distinctly steely too. Medium-bodied, slightly sappy red fruits, chalky and stony, a little game meat and juniper, so bright and packed with energy, and a pebble and dried herb finish of excellent length. Brisk, fresh, charismatic, and dynamic. Less oak than the Trienta y Dos and maybe better for that in a way. Great Pinot Noir, from south of the border! Drink 2023 - 2030+.

Other Reviews....
Like the majority of these wines, the percentage of wine in concrete that didn't see any oak in the 2020 Treinta y Dos has been increased to 50%, and the remaining 50% matured in French oak barrels (only 10% new) for nine months. It comes from a plot planted in 1932 on clay, sand and silt soils that deliver the most structured of Chacra's reds. The wine fermented in concrete with indigenous yeasts and has moderate 12.5% alcohol, which for a warmer and riper year like 2020, is remarkable. But of course, comparisons bring out the truth: 2020 was quite different climate wise from 2021, and the wines from 2020 show it. There's a little more ripeness, and the quality of the tannins is not the same, probably because of a hurried ripening of the grapes; plus, it's a little grainier and has a little more rusticity in the mouthfeel. It's faintly oaky but only faintly, even if there's no new oak whatsoever. 9,972 bottles were filled in November 2021. Drink 2022 - 2029.

Red cherries, strawberries, spiced plums, violets, cloves, dried herbs, undergrowth and a touch of smoke on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with firm, tight-grained tannins. Firm, mineral and tea-like tannin quality. Very focused and structured. Needs time. Try after 2025. From biodynamically grown grapes.

Go Patagonia Pinot, go!
Poached strawberry, cinnamon dusted plums, mint and violets, ferrous and stony, new leather and blonde tobacco, liquorice root. Medium-bodied, succulent red fruit and spiced plum, fine-grained spread of tannin, black tea perfume, and a grainy savoury finish of superb length. Distinctive, and while the Pinot Noir signature is firm, it’s quite clearly from ‘somewhere other’. Outstanding. Drink 2024 - 2030+.

2019 Bodega Chacra Treinta Y Dos Pinot Noir

Patagonia, ARGENTINA
$199. 00
Bottle
$2388.00 Dozen

ABV: 12.5%

Closure: Cork

Bodega Chacra was formed in 2004 by Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, the grandson of Sassicaia’s founder, Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta. Piero always wanted to do his own thing independent of family ties, and in 2004 he heard about an abandoned Pinot vineyard in Patagonia that was originally planted in 1932 and knew immediately it was the opportunity he had been looking for. And so began what is now Bodega Chacra, generally recognised as the greatest Pinot Noir produced in South America.
Over time another vineyard from 1955 was added along with more plantings. Vineyards are tended using organic and biodynamic principles. The old vines are planted on their own rootstocks, producing tiny bunches with incredibly concentrated flavours. Fruit is hand harvested, fermented in concrete, transferred by gravity and treated in the gentlest way possible without fining or filtration in order to produce wines with transparency.
Treinta y Dos is a single vineyard wine, made from old vineyards planted in 1932 on a land layered with clay, sand and pebbles. The most structured of all Chacra’s wines, Chacra Treinta y Dos is meant to be aged. Its soft characteristics and velvety tannins, however, make it drinkable at a younger age.
Other Reviews....
Extremely perfumed with rose-petal, violet, rose-stem and sweet-strawberry aromas that follow through to a full-bodied palate with tight, juicy tannins that are strong and intense. A very structured, young, top pinot from here. Needs three to four years to soften. Try after 2024.

“Chacra ‘Treinta y Dos’ is a single vineyard wine, made from old vineyards planted in 1932 on a land layered with clay, sand and pebbles. The most structured of all Chacra’s wines, Chacra Treinta y Dos is made to be aged.
24 Months in 50% new French oak, 50% in used French oak.” Bottle 2648/8794. Importer: Viticult
Concentrated, lush sweep of stony tannin, blood plum and red fruits, cinnamon and clove, dried roses, smoked meat. It’s lavish, and not shy on spicy oak, but the intensity of fruit and power is there too. There’s a slightly tacky wet paint feel to texture, and a savoury dried herb character and subtle chicory bitterness, a powdery slightly oak-laden finish of excellent length and poached and spiced strawberry flavour rounds it out. Impressive wine, and in need of a little more cellaring, but kind of heavy on the oak. Still, bloody good. Drink 2024 - 2030.

Cincuenta y Cinco comes from vineyards planted in 1955 which gently rest on a sea of pebbles, typical in riverbed soils. It is fermented whole cluster at very low temperatures, enhancing the floral characteristics of the wine. Cincuenta y Cinco has the highest amount of tension of all the Chacra wines while it still retains a comfortable ease.
Other Reviews....
Extremely perfumed and beautiful with ripe strawberries and citrus fruit, as well as aromatic flowers. Full-bodied with plenty of fruit and creamy, chewy tannins that are polished and very impressive. Long and linear. One of the best of this bottling. Drink after 2023, but already a gorgeous bottle.

“Planted in 1955, on a sea of pebbles, typical in riverbed soils. It is fermented whole cluster at very low temperatures, enhancing the floral characteristics of the wine. Roughly 40% in concrete egg and 60% in 2nd, 3rd and 4th use oak for 10 months. Unfiltered and unfined. 40ppm of SO2.” Importer: Viticult
Charismatic and distinctive style, and not your usual kind of Pinot Noir in a way. Spiced strawberry, wet clay earthiness and ‘mineral’ character, chamomile and dried flowers, slightly smoky, five spice, dried cherry. It’s fleshy and succulent, exotic spice and red fruits, fine pumice stone tannin, fresh clean acidity, with a sage and thyme perfume, and a long stony finish of excellent length. Almost a Barbaresco-like firmness and intensity, yet still identifiably Pinot Noir, but from a different place. A wine of intrigue and individual character. Drink 2023 - 2030.

Other Reviews…..
I only recently reviewed the 2022 Bream Creek Pinot Noir, and I can say that this 2023 is a much finer iteration of this wine.
Cherry, raspberry, kind of succulent, but fresh too, with some spice, perfume, and quiet autumnal notes. It’s medium-bodied, plenty of juicy cherry and raspberry flavour, spiced plum, a pleasing sort of floral mouth-perfume, fine-grained tannin, and a finish of very good length, a little twist of orange peel bitterness to close. I can’t quite decide on 93 or 94 points, but either way, it’s a strong vintage for this wine. Drink 2024-2030+

Brokenwood has been producing Pinot Noir from the Indigo Vineyard since 2002, utilizing three clones (114, 115, and MV6) planted on diverse soil types to create both varietal and single-vineyard wines with bright fruit character. The 2024 vintage was challenging, with a late-season frost in October significantly reducing yields, particularly for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, leading to uneven fruit maturation and requiring careful picking. Despite the low yields, the fruit was in good condition, and harvest occurred under clear skies.
Thirty percent whole bunch inclusion with maturation predominately in used French oak for a period of 9 months. Semi translucent bright ruby red colour with a light crimson red hue. Fragrant red cherry, violet and red raspberry scents sail out of the glass followed by a whiff of anise, fresh herbs and spice.

This wine is normally produced from Brokenwood’s Indigo vineyard located in Beechworth, however, the bushfires of 2020 meant that the fruit was smoke tainted and nothing could be picked. Fortunately, Brokenwood was able to source parcels of fruit from premium growers in Tasmania. Twenty five percent whole bunch fruit was included in the ferment with maturation taking place in French oak barriques for a period of 10 months.
Semi translucent bright dark red colour with black tinged edges and a light crimson hue. A fragrant mix of violets, sour to red cherries and winter strawberries mesh with forest floor, dried herb and spicy cedar notes. Light but powerful and highly moreish, the palate is filled with ripe red cherry and strawberry fruits which are cast against a back drop of fresh herb infusions, forest floor and spicy cedar. Very polished in its feel with a super fine tannin structure it finishes fresh with a long, savoury aftertaste.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

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.
