R Wines Permutations Pinot Noir 2008
Pinot Noir from Victoria, Australia
winemaker's notes:
A productive vintage with excellent conditions throughout the summer. A warm period at the end of harvest delivered a range of maturity levels across the components which contributed to complexity and structure.
A light, bright and fresh Pinot Noir, well structured with savory, complex characters and nice texture. Rich plum, red berries, beetroot and herbal notes on the nose, with berries and rosemary following on the palate. Subtle, sweet dark fruit, toasty oak and fruit of the forest.
critical acclaim:
"Bright, medium red. Alluring, spicy raspberry and cherry aromas are complicated by white pepper and fresh floral qualities; smells like a Chambolle. Nervy red fruit flavors are impressively precise and gain sweetness and depth with air. Offers true pinot finesse and texture, with no rough edges or excess weight. A juicy, arrestingly pure wine, with excellent finishing clarity, bite and lingering sweetness. This is an excellent value in pinot noir, from anywhere."
