2016 Estate SV Pinot Noir

Wedgetail Estate 2016 Single Vineyard Pinot Noir.  This is a beauty, a Cottles Bridge (Yarra Valley) Pinot Noir.  Fresh, vibrant with dark red berries, notes of spices and wild herbs. The tannins are smooth and fine, very drinkable now but sufficiently structured to age well over the next decade.  There is a savoury characteristic, from the terroir and to which perhaps the wild yeast also contributes and adds to the wines overall elegance and freshness.  The lingering flavours persist long after the first mouthful.
