Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012 Morninton Peninsula, Victoria Australia
Yabby LakeOutstanding purple-crimson colour; the fragrant bouquet has an exuberant display of plum and red cherry, the palate moving into another gear, retaining the fruit, but adding savoury complexity that invests it with quite exceptional length. Exemplary viticulture (Keith Harris) and winemaking (Tom Carson) at work. Vintage: 2012 Score: 97 points James Haliday Source: winecompanion.com.au
Strong, deep and clear colour, there is a mix of dark cherry, plum and spice in the core of the palate, fine tannins running throughout giving texture, structure and flavour; glorious drive and length. Vintage: 2010 Score: 96 points James Haliday Source: winecompanion.com.au
Tom Carson is a rockstar of Victorian chardonnay, pinot and shiraz, and never have his wines shown more poise, oak restraint and delicacy of fragrance than they do now. Cherry blossom perfume, pristine red cherry fruits and a structure at once silky and firm. Vintage: 2009 Score: 94 points Tyson Stelzer Source: tysonstelzer.com
