Tassie's best value Pinot Noir. No hyperbole. There's nothing sub $40 that is on this level. You'll need another lobster to buy wines at this level from the likes of Pooley, Meadowbank and Lowestoft.

Luke Whittle and the team here have been knocking it out of the park of late and this wine is no exception. It's an orchestral masterpiece, the low end reverberates with ripe intense fruit, cherry, strawberry and blood plums. A symphonic smattering of sweet spice, amaro, and smoked paprika accent the plush, sweet fruit. A lovely drawn bow of acidity imbues the wine with a lovely juicy and mouthwatering freshness before a crescendo of powdery tannin sweeps through on the finale leaving a feeling of tension and expectation before the next movement of your glass to your lips. 

It's no shrinking violet, theres some amplitude here but everything sings as one, layers revealing themselves in a way that great Pinot, at a much higher price, often do. Despite the obvious depth and complexity here the wine is a charmer at heart, supple and sumptuous and succulent. It's hard not to love.

I don't want to undersell it but the equation here is simple. Great fruit. A selection of the best across their five vineyards From Pipers Brook, Strathlyn on the west bank of the Tamar and northern sites that see maritime influence from Bass Strait. Then pair that with a little wineaking nouse. A bit of whole bunch fermentation, a gentle press, a little bit of the good oak and a little sleep in the cellar. Many strings pulled gently as it were. 

I will repeat again. This is the best value Pinot in Tassie right now! It's a no brainer, stock up now while the pricing is sharp and drink this until your hearts content. Buy a dozen, the first six will go quickly I assure you.
