2020 TarraWarra Estate Reserve Pinot Noir

93 POINTS

Philip Rich - Halliday's Wine Companion

Made from estate fruit from 2 vineyards (33 and 38 years old) and 2 clones (MV6 & D5V12). All destemmed fruit, fermented in foudres and matured in a combination of French puncheons and barriques (25% new) for 11 months. A bright medium crimson. A little reduction followed by redcurrants, plum and some charry oak. Tightly wound on the palate, there is good depth and freshness here and the tannins are ripe and fine. Give this another 6–12 months to really hit it straps.
