Tasting notes
Pale ruby colored, the 2010 “Premium” Pinot Noir entices with aromas of warm cranberries, crushed cherries and pomegranate accented by nuances of dusty earth and dried oregano. Light-bodied and elegantly fruited in the mouth, is has just enough red berry and dried herb-laced character draped around the solid backbone of grainy tannins and crisp acid, and finishes with excellent length. Drink it now to 2019+. Importer: Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; www.oldbridgecellars.com

About the producer
Bass Phillip has been quietly making world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Leongatha, South Gippsland, since the 1990s. The estate’s wines were long sold almost exclusively in Australia, meaning that the producer remains relatively little-known beyond its native shores.
