Log in / Sign up Yarra Yering Pinot Noir 2017
This is a superb wine. I was completely taken aback. Opening a bottle is like slipping into formal wear and dolling yourself up. It feels, tastes, and smells special. It’s satiny, it’s polished with oak, it sets out plot points and then walks you through various escapades of herbs, twigs, spices, and fruits, the setting of a forest, and the genre drama. The word mineral, or minerality, is a controversial one in wine, and rightly so, but some wines just walk you straight to the rock. This Yarra Yering Pinot Noir is one such.
