Tasting
A winery that i hadn't heard of prior to moving to Macedon Ranges, if you look on their website they are still sitting on 2008 vintage Pinot Noir, a small boutique producer who doesn't mind their wine sitting in bottle for a number of years prior to release.

The wine is a deep red in the glass, the nose show sappy cherry and a slight funky aspect that adds to the experience. The palate is a concentrated example of the variety, however there is enough savoury flare and fine boned acidity to keep things in balance. Oak adds a filament of spice with drying tannins and dark cherry lingering on the finish.
