I often find the Macedon Ranges can be quite Burgundian in style,Vosne-Romanee to be precise with floral aromatics of lifted red cherry and spice that works with a tautness of acidity that frames the fruit on the palate.

The wine holds a tension between red cherry fruit and more nuanced earth and rhubarb characters. Tannins are fine but persistent and add a savoury dimension that's short lived when oak derived spice makes itself known on the finish.

Pinot Noir of this quality shouldn't cost $29. Back up the truck.
