Sold Out
Made by Rob Hall, who worked at Mount Mary for a decade. You can be certain that some of that Mount Mary magic has rubbed off on Rob while making this wine.
This is special. First let's start with the winemaker - Rob Hall - while this may be a new name for you, Rob is certainly no strange in the wine world. Rob cut his teeth at Mount Mary, perhaps the most famous Yarra Valley producer and he worked there for 10 years as assistant winemaker.
He's now making his wine under his own name, sourcing fruit from the very best vineyards just like Willowlake (think Oakridge Willowlake Pinot Noir) and puts his magic touch he learned at Mount Mary on each Pinot Noir. The result? It's certainly captured Philip Rich's attention in Halliday's Wine Companion, here he rated it 95 points and wrote:
"Mostly fully destemmed and matured mainly in seasoned hogsheads and puncheons. A light ruby red. Fragrant and floral with wild strawberries, spiced cherries and a gentle dusting of aromatic spices. The palate is resolved and harmonious for such a young wine and builds nicely with supple yet persistent tannins kicking in on the finish. Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, one of the best value Yarra pinots I've tasted recently." Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion.
It's increasing difficult to find good value Pinot Noir, this one with a cracking review, a top winemaker and from a great vintage is like finding a needle in haystack. Limited stocks - only 20 dozen - be quick to secure this bargain Pinot Noir.
Excellent value
We saw a great review for this wine from Cloudwine. We had not tried it so we thought why not! We had always been very satisfied with Cloudwine before and they did not disappoint with this recommendation.
