A good year for Jim Jim Pinot Noir, a warmer and drier year which is a luxury in one of the coldest wine growing regions in Australia, and a site that was planted with an aspect and orientation that was focused on sparkling wines.
The wine was fermented with 25% whole bunches and aged in a mix of new and old French Oak for 16 months.
The nose gives black cherry and plum fruits with lifted spice. The palate shows a serious wine with berry compote and sandalwood like spice, tannins are fine and acidity is focused which keeps things fresh and flowing. The finish has generosity and length and is more dark than red cherry and has plenty of structure.
