Purple center fading to cherry red. The nose is complex, changing rapidly. Dried prune, cinnamon and some mysterious foresty aromas. Seamless edges of tannin and acid and well toned oak use all come together in the long finish. A wonderful fleshy, youthful Pinot Noir to palate with a brilliant future. A$60/bottle

Escarpment and Martinborough Vineyards which are both raised by Larry Mckenna whom is now solely involved with Escarpment offer Pinot Noir with a luxurious burgundy feel at a fraction of the price. Vine age for these producers are now reaching the 30 year mark for the top single vineyard wines and concentration and balance has now stepped up to high gear. If you are a one of those people that continuously waste money on high end new world Pinot Noir, you should be looking at the above mentioned producers.
