Mount Pleasant Mothervine Pinot Noir 2022

Sweet cherry scents, Cherry Ripe whiff, cherry pith, cold brew coffee mouthfeel with more… cherries. Clove and orange tension, vibrancy, spice and shapely tannin, bouncy in the mouth, a bit nervy but lifted character, acidity punches with freshly crushed green peppercorns finish.

Cherry and almond, a bit meaty (think roast lamb or sausages), cedar, spice, a little dusty and earthy. It’s medium-bodied, cherry and darker fruit, ironstone and dried herbs, quite chalky in texture, with a dusty dryness on the finish, which has solid length and a light sappiness. It tastes of Pinot Noir and the Hunter Valley, which at least for me, is a pretty appealing combo. It think it needs a couple more years to settle down.
