2002 Yarra Ridge Pinot Noir

The 2002 vintage was cool and dry. The Pinot Noir berries produced in this vintage displayed wonderful fruit character and excellent varietal flavour. The cool spring conditions produced smaller than usual berries with enhanced structure and aroma. The selection of various Yarra Valleyvineyard parcels ensured the highest quality of fruit was used to produce the wine. The Upper Yarra fruit, which was more aromatic and delicate, combined well with fruit from vineyards closer to the winery, which was richer and riper.

Tasting Note: The 2002 Yarra Ridge Pinot Noir is soft berry red in the glass. Aromas of berries and spice are present on the nose. Ripe plums and subtle five spice flavours combine with supple tannins on the soft palate of this elegant wine.
