Yealands Estate Single Vineyard Pinot Noir
"Vibrant and enticing, youthful and ripe fruited bouquet showcasing aromas of wild raspberry and crushed black cherry. There’s a whole-berry carbonic note suggesting super fresh berry aromas with a tinge of bubble-gum. On the palate - equally enticing with flavours of red berries and plums, dark red apple skin and a light savoury mineral layer. Fine easy tannins with medium+ acidity. A youthful refreshing example with lost of upfront fruit then flavours of dark spiced oak with a soft toasty edge and a whisper of salt on the finish. Balanced and well made. Ready to enjoy from today and through 2025+. " 93 points, Cameron Douglas
"Ripe, fruity, varietal and unctuous bouquet with aromas of dark red apple skin and plum, some cherry moments then sweet vanilla and sweet wood tones of oak. Quite complex yet very youthful still. On the palate - equally fruity and savoury with flavours of plums and dark cherry, some toasty barrel flavours, clove and vanilla moments and a fine savoury core. Balanced fine tannins and fresh acid line adding crispness and length. Youthful throughout the palate with a good length, balance and complexity. Nice wine. best drinking from 2021 through 2025." 92 points, Cameron Douglas
