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.

Coldstream Hills was established in 1985 by James and Suzanne Halliday and has since grown to become one of Australia's leading and most awarded small wineries.

So too have its wines, which reflect regional character, consistency, and style.
Sourced from low yielding vineyards in the Lower and Upper Yarra Valley, all fruit is selectively picked prior to its delivery into the winery. The Lower Yarra provides dark cherry notes and structure, the Upper Yarra complements with elegance, spice, and perfume. The wine is made using a variety of handling and fermentation techniques, including the use of whole bunches.

Destemmed with a small percentage of whole bunches. Matured mainly in French puncheons, 1–3 years old. A light, bright crimson. This a little reductive to start, but soon blows off to reveal a wine with quite a bit of aromatic nuance. Red fruits together with a little cinnamon and dried herbs lead onto the palate, which is silky and persistent. Drink by 2027.

The Te Muna Road vineyard, sited 7km from Martinborough town, is planted on an ancient dried riverbed of stony clay soils, and fruit for this wine is sourced from a higher terrace than the parcel-selection Aroha. The winemaking – by Julian Grounds – is similar; however, this sees more (34%) whole-bunch fruit and less (27%) new oak. Anne Krebiehl MW: Juicy, flowing, with dense red cherry, freshness, nothing overdone. Lovely now, will also last the distance. Very balanced. Justin Knock MW: Deep blue and purple fruits, creamy aromas, plush and layered. Expansive and powerful but also very fine. A really wonderful wine. Dirceu Vianna Junior MW: Youthful, vibrant and elegantly scented. Ripe dark fruits, spice and elegant leafy notes. Great concentration, silky texture and savoury complexity. Drink 2023-2033.

Cabernet franc as a feature from Crawford River is a pretty exciting thing. This is one classy wine.
Pitch-perfect medium weight while being pitch-perfect in terms of that tightrope balance of cabernet franc between ripe fruit and herbal-greenery. It’s heady in choc-berry, liquorice, anise and mocha scents while offering enthusiasts a whiff of brambles, sage leaf and pepper. The palate has a gentle richness with fruit character squelchy, fresh and just right in a sweet-sour zone. It’s long, a little lush but not overt, offers a sense of elegance and yet high drinkability. A charm. Drink 2018-2027.

The cooler season seems to suit Cri de Coeur as of all the pinots, this has the deepest colour – a vibrant garnet, and has amalgamated the best at this early stage. Fragrant with florals and autumn leaves after rain with flavours of morello and sweet red cherries, tamarind and turmeric, pepper and aniseed melding into the medium-bodied palate. The raw silk tannins have some sway and are just coming into unison, with the acidity allowing a lingering finish. Drink by 2034.

A gently mid-weighted pinot founded on a cavalcade of pristine tannins, silty and flecked with a bunchy edginess. A subtle structural adjunct, imparting complexity. When I first opened this, I thought it light. As I shift to better stemware, I find it gorgeous. Pithy red cherry, clove, orange zest, white pepper and sandalwood bound to a fibrous tannic tension. Succulent and long. A lot of work has gone into the textural latitude. Lovely stuff. Drink or hold.

This sits in the right place. It shows off lovely varietal aromas and flavours as much as the region. It's juicy and bright, works off a medium-bodied frame full of cherries and spiced strawberries. Tannins are soft and so too the acidity. A pinot for today. Drink by 2026.

2022 Curly Flat Pinot Noir

$74. 99
Bottle
$899.88 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Stelvin

The 2022 growing season at Curly Flat followed the cool climate trend of the previous two years, with the resulting wines dispalying fragrant aroma, nuanced depth, and balanced texture, all brought together by fresh mineral acidity. The 2022 Estate Pinot Noir is produced from eleven distinct parcels, each representing different aspects, clones, and soils. These parcels were carefully managed to maximize site expression, with indigenous yeasts used for fermentation and varying amounts of whole bunch, post-ferment skin contact, and oak treatment tailored to each lot. Expect fragrant spices and red fruit with darker fruits and savory complexities. After 16 months of maturation, the final blend includes 6% whole bunch and 17% new oak, and was bottled without filtration.
Other Reviews....
At first, this is gently aromatic with flavours of cherry compote, baked rhubarb and lots of chinotto, then, wham! A mouthful of tannins comes crashing through, setting up a more serious proposition. Yet the palate stays in mid-weight territory, as this is a more austere style with a light smattering of oak spice/char and very tangy acidity to close. Needs rich food as a match. Drink 2024 - 2032.

I tasted the three Curly Flat 2022 Pinot Noirs masked and for this one I wrote: The most complete of the three. Given that they’re all excellent quality, that may be all that you need to know. I like the stringiness of this, the tension, the fruit, the length. It’s real pinot. It feels as though it’s desperate to rush forward but it holds itself back until it gets to the finish, where it runs. It has a minerally aspect, a sour ripeness, a thread of woodsmoke, a garni of herbs. It will cellar beautifully. It’s cool, ripe, savoury, seamless and long. Drink 2026 - 2033+

This is very much the sum of its parts with fruit cherry-picked across various estate blocks. And now that the word cherry has popped up, plenty in this, red and morello in particular. It has some whole-bunch punch both aromatically and on the palate, zesty and tangy with perky acidity a feature of this vintage. Plenty of tannins work across the medium-bodied palate and there's a lipsmacking, moreish finish. Drink 2023 - 2035.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
Most of the better Macedon Ranges pinot noirs are ever-so surly in their youth. This one too.
The fruit here is backward, in a good way. It tastes of red cherry and plum with an earthen, sweet-sour edge, though bunches of twig, juniper and general herb notes are at play too, if in an integrated way. Complexity, it certainly has covered. There’s excellent tannin here, a solid-if-fine-grained frame, though it’s not delivered at the expense of flow. This moves along in a brooding, thoughtful way, as if concerned about its future, not that it needs to be. Everything, for this wine, in time, will be just fine. Drink 2026 - 2033+

There’s an intensity and depth to Curly Flat’s pinots of late and as with this, never going overboard. It’s deep, complex and earthy with damp undergrowth alongside cherries, blood orange and Angostura bitters, plus savoury oak spice. Lots of tannin, but well placed across its more medium-bodied palate and with spritely acidity, it feels effortless to the end. Drink by 2030.

Jane Faulkner - James Halliday's Wine Companion (December 2021)
This wine takes a long time to come around in the glass but then, as young wines, that’s often the case with Macedon Pinot Noir. Bindi and Epis are noted slow-evolvers and I suspect that Curly Flat is headed more that way too.
The tannin structure of this wine and the overall reach through the finish is elite. It has ample flavour, in varietal terms, but structure is what this wine is all about. It mixes red cherry with satsuma plum, cedar wood with green-ish garden herbs, and while it has a bit of grunt it’s not heavy; it trips along in its own certain way. Hold onto it; don’t rush in; it’s on its way to a lovely place. Drink 2024 - 2031+

Matured for 16 months in French oak (22% new) with 22% whole bunch fruit included in the ferment. Deep dark red black tinged colour displaying excellent depth with a dark red purple hue. Nosing offers up a fragrant bouquet of delicate violets, dark cherries, strawberries and hints of anise which mix with spicy vanillin cedar, dried herb and forest floor notes. Light to medium weight the palate possesses richness, flesh and power delivering a combination of dark cherry and strawberry fruits which are supple on entry and expansive. Notions of anise, forest floor, spicy cedar and subtle dried herbs then chime in on the back half. Showing an underlying sturdiness are fine grained tannins. Concludes long and polished.

Curly Flat has made its name on powerfully-built examples of the variety, fruit often matched step-by-step by oak. There’s cedary oak here but it’s been dialled back while, at the same time, tannin has been dialled up. This wine has fruit but it also has a great emphasis on structure. It’s not chunky, it’s chalky and dry, effectively mineral, almost quartz-like. It brings gravitas to the Curly Flat equation. I looked at this wine over the course of 24 hours and every time I did my score on it went up. Drink 2022-2029+

An impressive 2019 from Curly Flat with a spectrum of ripe red and dark-cherry aromas and trademark, sappy and spicy notes, too. The palate is delivered as a succulent and velvety array of ripe tannin that carries concentrated cherry fruit flavor. Intense and mouth-filling finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

It’s from the estate’s 1992 planting, aka its oldest vines. It was fermented wild before going into 27% new oak.
This takes the tannin up another notch; I was bowled over by this, it’s a terrific wine. Meaty, smoky, plum-shot, silken, cedar-laced. But bold with tannin. Muscular in a nuanced way. The ‘standard’ Curly Flat pinot noir grew on me over the hours; this one hit me with its quality immediately. You can see the grains in this and I mean that as a positive; it’s like an LP, analog, grainy, its flavours told in grooves. Drink 2022 - 2028+

From the coolest site on the Curly Flat estate. 22-year-old vines. No new oak.
It’s clearly the most delicate and arguably the most detailed of Curly Flat’s 2019 pinot noir releases. It throws fistfuls of spice into the mix, along with herbs, along with a certain grit to the tannin. This is a lacy pinot noir, perfumed, refreshing, not without presence, blessed by finesse. It’s the most approachable of the 2019s but it has all the components to age. The length of the finish is of note. Drink 2022 - 2026+

Fruit comes off vineyards on the coolest, western blocks. 115 and 144 clones, 17% whole bunches in the wild ferment and aged in used French oak for 16 months. There's a prettiness, an alluring fragrance of rose petals that gives way to more obvious cherry nuances. It's just shy of full bodied, with textural, fine-grained tannins, crunchy acidity and a moreish element. Compelling wine. Drink by 2033.

Showing excellent depth this wine has a deep dark red core with black tinged edges and a dark red hue. Perfumed aromatics of violets, dark cherries and strawberries show terrific intensity.

I believe this is the first vintage with Matt Harrop at the controls. I’m likely not recognized as the authority on Pinot Noir at The Wine Front, but I’ll do my best for you.
Dried rose perfume in with some fresh mint, deep raspberry flavour, a little almond and vanilla, plus some spice. It’s ripe, but not overly so, with cool acidity, a dusting of graphite tannin, and a long biscuity finish. It’s generous in style, but keeps itself trim. I’m particularly tickled by the quality of tannin here. Excellent. Drink 2020-2028+

This is a watershed for this producer with such well-assembled complexity, well-guarded purity and the kind of bright, vibrant tannin that is rarely seen outside Burgundy. Intense aromas of blood orange, pomegranate, red cherry, boldly spicy oak and a sapid, reductive edge. Lot of energy here. The palate has rich red and dark-cherry flavor with crisply defined tannins that carry long and refreshed into the finish with assertive acidity. Crunchy red-fruit finish. Give this a little more time to settle. Try from 2023. Screw cap.

I’m quite particular about Pinot Noir. There’s styles I very much like, and those that I don’t but may still rate highly, where appropriate. Anyway, here’s a style I do like, and I’d expect that it will have broad appeal too. As an aside, still clearing a bit of a cold, so I’m perhaps not quite at my best. Codral makes me do, and say, strange things.
The main thing I like here, is that there’s an earthy/mineral thing going on that sets it apart from the pack. Cherry, strawberry, spice, mint, autumnal, yet still bright with cranberry acidity, wonderful graphite tannin, a coolness and composure without compromising this sort of salt-of-the-earth integrity thingy. Finish is pure and mineral infused, with insistent tannin pushing it long. Fair to say I think this is very good, with more to come. Drink 2020-2032+

The first reserve release from the D.M.L. crew. It’s from a single Mornington Peninsula vineyard, and it’s a barrel selection from there (the best three).
It’s a complete wine. It’s so beautifully ripened that it’s difficult to see where the fruit ends and the savouriness begins, so easily does each flow into and through the other. Strawberries and herbs, cedarwood and undergrowth, with perhaps a slight dip into plum. There’s a minerally, smoky, graphite-like aspect to the tannin, which itself is both firm and sheeted, like a hotel bed, everything drilled precisely into place. This is an Australian Pinot Noir that will prove immensely age worthy; everything here speaks of excellence. Drink 2026 - 2035+.

I texted Anth D’Anna, Franco D’Anna, and Sam Middleton just now, asking which was the best DML Pinot in 2021. Mornington or Yarra? Anth says ‘Mornington’, Franco says ‘Mornington’, Sam says ‘double emoji laughing’ and then ‘probably Mornington’. I don’t have Jordan Lewis’ mobile number, so I asked him on Instagram, ‘It seems to be Mornington, though I think the Yarra will age better’. Wise words.
Strawberry, a little spice, almond, kind of pretty, with a flicker of mint and light cedar oak. It’s light to medium-bodied, delicate and lacy, a subtle hazelnut flavour, fine grained emery board tannin, very fresh, again the spiced strawberry and a minty blood orange, but pure finish of excellent length.

Wax capped bottles, and you’d expect that the D’Anna brothers are experts when it comes to waxing. Anyway, I hate DIAM corks, more in a wine writer capacity as much as anything, because so often you can’t get the cork back into the bottle.
So fine and pretty. All strawberries and dried flower perfume, a dash of sweet spice, subtle stony earthiness too. Light bodied, fresh and delicate, red cherry and ripe strawberry, fine emery tannin, maybe some fragrant basil, and a gentle but insistent drag of fine dusty tannin on a long cool finish.

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.
