Scotchmans Hill Pinot Noir 2008

94 POINTS - BEST OF THE BEST WINERY & 5 RED STAR RATING - James Halliday's 2011 Aust Wine Companion.

“Strong clear colour; good expression of pinot varietal character from start to finish, with plum, spice and a touch of black cherry characters; very good mouthfeel and balance. Rating 94.” James Halliday.

Crafted by renowned Geelong pinot producer, which is very burgundian in style. 100% Estate grown fruit (low yielding 1.5 tonnes per acre) from vines up to 30 years old ( Clones MV6, 114 Burgundy, 115 Burgundy & D5V12). A complex aroma of cherry and plum characters with a hint of beetroot and earth. Lively varietal characters of cherry and spice make way to beetroot and cherry flavours together with well balanced spicy oak, sweet leather and a touch of stalk throughout the mid palate. Scotchmans Hill has a lovely balance of fine tannins and fresh acidity which complement the concentrated fruit flavours. Well structured with a long and flavorsome finish, displays all the character of the finest Pinot Noir. This is a baby and recommend decanting this or one for the cellar.
