Tasting
by Farr have certainly cemented themselves one of the premier producers of Pinot Noir not only within Victoria, but also the country. The 2013 releases once again show incredible pedigree and highlight what can be achieved in the Geelong region.

The wine has masculinity and structure on the nose with smokey, spicy whole bunch characters that are given an aromatic lift from spicy plum and oak.

The palate has an earthen aspect to mouth filling dark cherry fruit, the tannins are supple and silken but at the same time have structure to support a long time in the cellar. The finish is exceptional, a veritable spice temple with supreme length of dark cherry and wood spice.
