Hardy’s here reach to the prime Pinot Noir growing areas of Victoria.

Hardy’s, HRB D672, Pinot Noir, Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, 2016

A powerful, elemental pinot noir with rose petals, chocolate, baked cherries, raspberry, pomegranate and citrusy orange zest finish. Medium-full with long muscular tannins and echoes of brown spices. Certainly a well built pinot from the big end of town.
