A light red in the glass, this is a more brooding Pinot than the other 15' Pinot in the Noisy Ritual lineup from Geelong. It is understandable when you look at Sunbury as a region for Pinot, it produces wine that has a characteristic sappy bouquet garni undertone with earth and forrest floor aplenty. This wine has all of that, but showcases bright dark cherry fruit with a good hit of oak induced spice. The palate is medium bodied giving undergrowth and red fruits alongside sage inspired spice to finish.

If urban wineries keep producing Pinot that is as good expect to see more in the future !
