2017 Lone Star Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir
Located in the upper Yarra Valley on the boundary of Woori Yallock and Hoddles Creek, Lone Star vineyards was established in 1997. Grape production is sold to a number of renowned Yarra Valley winemakers with the 2017 vintage being the first commercial release under their own label. Hoddles Creek’s Franco D’Anna is in charge of winemaking.
Matured for 9 months in used French oak barriques with 15% whole bunch included. Translucent bright cherry red colour with a light crimson hue. Fragrant violet laced scents of ripe cherries and strawberries drift from the glass followed by anise and infusions of fresh herbs. Light, incredibly moreish and possessing a superb power wave, delicious juicy cherry and strawberry flavours flow into subtle elements of anise and spice. Supple mouthfeel with silky tannins and a long aftertaste.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.
