While youthful, the wine shows a tannic backbone not normally seen in Gembrook Pinot - vibrant red cherry flavours - it is evident the care given to the vines (Ian's passion) from the excpetionally balanced and quality wine that has been produced.
Deep dark ruby in colour, with aromas of mushroom, forest floor, black forest cake, dried thyme, crushed violet and petrichor (scent of rain). The middle palate displaying savory, tobacco leaves and nutty flavours - a serious pinot noir for the true pinot noir fan.
Aromatically it leans towards morello cherry and raspberry, with rhubarb, crushed violet and a hint of forest floor sitting underneath. The palate follows the perfume closely: red berries first, then a savoury turn through blood orange and dried thyme, with a faint peppery lift.
