$43, 4 stars, 92 points, australia, pinot noir, VWTC, Yarra valley
Next up at the 33rd virtual tasting was this lovely Pinot. I drank this a few months ago at a birthday dinner and loved it, hence the re-taste for our group. It’s a pale garnet color with medium viscosity (13.5% ABV). Medium (+) intensity aromas of strawberry kick things off followed by barnyard funk, cranberry, strawberry, strawberry shortcake and ‘cardboard box filled with cherries’ from one of the tasters. On the palate it is dry with medium (+) acidity and medium (-) tannins. A Medium (-) body carries the delicious cherry, strawberry, baking spice and pomegranate flavors through to a medium length finish. I enjoyed tasting this wine again, perhaps not as much as the first time but gave it 15 points on our sheet and a 92 rating. For $43 it gets 4 stars from me. Drink with lighter meat dishes till 2030. Yummy stuff. Salut….
