2022 Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Pinot Noir
The Collective Review
Mornington Peninsula Icon alert. It’s not just the name Yabby Lake that is famed for producing stellar Pinot Noir and Chardonnay; it has a lot to do with winemaker Tom Carson’s ability to tease out hauntingly ethereal textures and flavours from Pinot Noir. With a 96-point rating from James Halliday, this wine has a rare pedigree and like every other year, we expect it to sell out almost immediately.
Well, where to start with this beauty that took my breath away? Awash with dark cherries, blood orange and zest, Middle Eastern spices and sous bois aromas plus savoury oak. The palate is the clincher: smooth and polished with velvety tannins and fine acidity enticing it all to a long finish. Wow. Read more

The 2022 Pinot Noir Single Block Release instantly stamps its class. Powerful yet subtle, it delivers composed dark cherry and cocoa aromas laced with spice. Agile, lightweight, yet firm in structure, the dark cherry and rhubarb flavors are wrapped up tightly in a slightly heavy blanket of oak. But that seems sure to come back in time to deliver something special.

Tasting Notes
A bright and dense crimson colour. The aromas are intense and complex for a young wine - red fruits, raspberry, red currant with dark cherries, coupled with a floral and spicy note. The palate is super fine and silky with layers of flavour and texture leading to a long and bold finish. Cellar for at least five years, and preferably more than 10.
