Description
Can Bubb + Pooley make a top notch Pinot Noir? You better believe it. With their combined knowledge and experience, this was always going to an absolute scorcher of a wine. Made from two separate parcels, one 100% whole bunches and the other 20%, and matured in a mix of large concrete vat and oak.
There is a lot to unpack with this wine. Of all the wines in the new line up, this is the one which will reward decanting and some time to open up. Let it unfurl its wings and you'll find a gorgeously balanced wine - it smells like walking through a forest in daylight, with soft berries, leaf litter, woody spices and earthy savouriness. The palate is impeccable, with finely tuned, gentle acid, making this as food friendly as it is drinkable.
Stunning. Just stunning. More Tasmanian magic here from Anna Pooley & Justin Bubb.

"This is just lovely. Juicy dark cherry, red plum with a splash of raspberry. There is a real purity to the fruit, both aroma and flavour. Hints of medina spice, rose petals, jasmine, mineral salts, turned leaves, char siu and some stone fruit glimpses further back. The fruit and flow on the palate has a distinctly contemporary feel with superb fruit purity and energy, a slide of umami, plenty of saline acid drive and stony, powdered river pebble tannins. There's a real effortless drinkability to this wine. What a cracker!"

"Gee, this is a good Pinot Noir. Plenty of juicy cherry, a jasmine, rose oil and almost apricot perfume, a bit of spice and something a little earthy. It’s the feel of it, though, that really gets me in. It’s bright, but concentrated, with tight stony tannin, a cool ‘minerally’ aspect to its pure-feeling acidity, with a very long finish that pops with cherry, ripe raspberry, almond meal, and quite some fragrance. It’s sweetly fruited as a young wine, yes, though that structure is the thing. A curious thing to say, perhaps, its that it’s a fine Pinot Noir that sports something of an Italianate character. I love it. It’s touch and go for 96 points."

Fruit-driven Pinot with excellent body and surprisingly well-rounded finish. Big enough to enjoy on its own, but could also easily pair with red meat.
