Australian Pinot Noir ... The Current Collection

	2011 Giant Steps "Sexton" Pinot Noir New Vintage! '10 96 JH; 91+ WA; 92 ST From the Yarra Valley, one of Australia's premier Pinot Noir growing regions (you too, Tasmania, and you too, Brokenwood Pinot Noir). Ta da - Giant Steps! The perfect drop to enjoy with the Coltrane performance of the same name, we get something fragrant on the nose - wood or spices - and taste purple fruits. The wine has what we think of as the Yarra Valley leanness, perhaps more properly minerality. Very tasty, very food friendly. "The Sexton Pinot Noir is wonderfully intricate: notes of wild blackberry, dried mushroom, mulberry bush with braised plum, cinnamon stick and sour cherry. Its focused and fine tannins are assisted by judicious Burgundian oak treatment." Learn More ...	$34.99 Sorry, this vintage is sold out. Temporarily out. ETA early June.
	2010 Mac Forbes Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 92 JH "Purity of red and dark berry fruits with spice and fine intricate tannins. Good length and harmony." "On the nose, herbs, dark cherry, fennel, spice and subtle oak all work around a spine of sweet primary fruits. On the palate, explosive red fruits display weight and density. Purity of red/dark berry fruits with spice and fine intricate tannins. Good length and harmony finishing with crisp red apple fruit and freshness."

	2010 Fowles Stone Dwellers Pinot Noir You must try this. And not just because it is such fun to say Strathbogie. This Pinot is just wild with funky good stoney, minerally characters, dried cranberry and an almost candied cherry flavor all rolling around in the mouth and finally ending with a big, satisfied grin. Must be the Strathbogie. "A distinctively regional Pinot Noir that blushes a bright ruby red. With aromas of cherry orchards and pine forests; red fruits and cedar play with earthy herbal notes. A medium to full bodied palate, with a lovely firm finish." Learn More ...	$19.99 Quantity: 9 bottles available for same day shipping. 23+ bottles available. Ships in 1-5 business days.
	2008 Brokenwood Beechworth Pinot Noir 94 JH Opaque blue purple color and light on the palate but really flavorful. Dark cherry and hints of spice with good acidity make this a wonderful food wine. Try it with roasted chicken, sturdier fish, and mushroom dishes. "The 2008 Brokenwood Pinot Noir is a mid-weight Pinot Noir. Good depth of color and youthful purple tints are evident. Great complexity to the aromas. Lifted red cherry over sweet earthy savory characters with a touch of oak sweetness. The balance is aided by ripe tannins giving a lingering finish. The will mature further, although enjoyable as a fresh, zippy young Pinot Noir." Learn More ...	$21.99 Sorry, this vintage is sold out. Sold out.
