2017 was a cooler year in the Yarra Valley and the grapes for this were harvested two weeks later than the 2016.

TarraWarra Estate, Reserve, Pinot Noir, Yarra Valley, 2017

Aromatic perfume with dark cherry, cherry wood, dark chocolate and hint of chinotto. Supple, layered and elegant palate with excellent persistence from start to end. The tannins fine, tight while the finish shows a wonderful freshness that seems effortless. An excellent release.
