Semi translucent red colour with black toned edges and a light red hue. Fragrant violet laced aromas of red to dark cherry, strawberry and rhubarb sail out of the glass with plenty of intensity. Brambly cedar, subtle dried clove, forest floor and spice notes ensue. Light and savoury the palate features red to dark cherry and rhubarb flavours over a dried herb, spicy cedar and brambly forest floor like back drop. Relatively supple in its feel it possesses a polished tannin structure and finishes medium to long.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.

Other Reviews….
From 1998 planting of MV6 at Gladysdale, 30% whole bunches. Matured in 300L and 500L casks (less than 10% new). Awarded Best Pinot Noir at the 2022 Yarra Valley Wine Show. Exhibiting an array of spices including cardamon and nutmeg pods with red fruits and pomegranate, this floral, compact, medium-bodied and structured wine is precise and long. Drink by 2027.
