2022 Coldstream Hills The Esplanade Pinot Noir
Coldstream Hills prides itself for having access to many of the best vineyards in the Yarra Valley. These sites are found throughout the upper and lower Yarra Valley with each vineyard providing a range of unique characteristics to the wines. Back in the late 1980s, James Halliday introduced single vineyard wines to Coldstream Hills and demonstrated their unique styles. The tradition has continued with the release of the Single Vineyard range.
Palate - Plush and inviting with an array of dark cherry and strawberry characters interwoven with spice, seamless French oak, and earthiness. Characteristically savoury and rustic with finely grained tannins, the mild season offered a more elegant expression of this single site.
Nose - Attractive dark cherry with an underlay of earthiness, mineral graphite, and whole bunch spice. Subtle French oak adds complexity and aromatics, with hints of rose petal and five-spice evident in the background.
