2024 Rising Pinot Noir

Moreish, supplely textured Pinot.

Semi translucent red to dark red colour with a light red hue. Sailing through the nostrils with a perfumed like intensity are violet, red cherry and winter strawberry aromas followed by hints of fresh herbs, anise and forest floor. Delicious cherry and strawberry fruits decorate the palate and carry with them a supple textural feel. Some delicate anise, spicy dried herb and forest floor elements lie underneath. Excellent power and concentration with polished tannins and a long moreish finish.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews......
The first thing I noticed upon opening the bottle was a ripe, confectionery-like aroma that filled the room. After a bit of breathing, red cherry, strawberry, plum and black tea came forth to round out the delightful nose, with some stemminess obvious once you inspected the wine a bit closer. It had a juicy, salivating quality to it that made it very easy to drink up the bright, silky liquid, and it was even a touch better on the second night. Like the Chardonnay, it’s just as nice as a sipper or with food.
