black cherry

silky tannins and a subtle earthy finish

the main thing keeping us awake at night was the water stress on our dry grown vines

with hints of fresh peppercorns

Coldstream Hills Single Vineyard Roslyn Pinot Noir 2011 mornington-peninsula -Tim ShandThis wine spent ten months in 100% French oak 30% new with the remainder in seasoned French oak barriques and puncheons. Part of the wine (53%) remained on lees for its entirety in oak. This is a very different proposition, already with an intricate display of flavours ranging through dark berry, spice, bramble and (controlled) oak, likewise all promising much for the future. A true vin de garde style years a conservative minimum.
