TarraWarra Estate Pinot Noir 2014

Acres of cherry and soft brown nutmeg spice. Leather and heady purple flowers. Definitely needs air time if opening  young, don’t be afraid of a quick decant. Slightly slippery mouth feel, generous with ripe cherry and balanced with stemmy herbs. It’s giving, kind…almost benevolent. Will reward some medium term cellaring as there’s still a good line of firm tannins giving structure and body.

RRP $28
Alc: 13.2%
