Tasting
As is the case with most 2014 wines across South Eastern Australia the yields were down, but the quality of the release is excellent.
A savoury and masculine Pinot Noir the 2014 Farrside has all the attributes to go down as a classic, long living wine. The nose gives flashes of spicy french oak, slight stalky undertones and heady aromas of dark cherry with a dusting of earth.
The palate has racy acidity and a tannin structure that is commensurate to the concentration of cherry and plum that fills every corner of the mouth, spices build across the journey with a return of the gentle earthen characters on the nose to finish.
Leave this for a few years and watch it shine.
