2016 Estate Pinot Noir - Museum Release

Exhibiting a slow build of power on a detail-laden palate, this Pinot Noir is the result of an assemblage of thirteen individual small batches sourced from our Maroondah Highway vineyard. 

Heady aromas of black cherries, sage leaf, rhubarb, lavender, shiitake mushroom broth, peat, iodine and pencil shavings are in the front row with background shout-outs from raspberry, bay leaf and stemmy notes. The composed defined robust palate wields flavours of red fruits, sarsaparilla, cocoa nib, aniseed, and celeriac while notes of chicory cut a run to the back palate. Subtly ingrained natural acidity, slow-building fruit weight, a line of integrated oak and expansive spreading medium-chain tannins build in layers with each taste. The wine subtly yet confidently pushes through the palate to an expansive lingering finish.
