Curly Flat - Pinot Noir - 2023

A highly fragrant and beautifully textured Pinot from the Macedon Ranges. Aromas of sour cherry and raspberry with a subtle ironstone background. The palate is medium-bodied but with admirable depth and juicy concentration held with fine firmish tannins and precisely managed oak, of which 20% was new. Has that slightly sour cherry character adding to that final fling on the finish. 93 Points Ray Jordan, WinePilot Curly Flat Pinot Noir can be a bit surly in its youth and this release is of that ilk. It’s not a flashy pinot noir, let’s say. It tastes of cherries red and black with stringy herb and stewed strawberry notes. It’s firm through the finish and for now, takes a lot of coaxing to relax and extend. There’s a meatiness to this release, not overt but there. It’s a solid release for now but in time could well push higher. 93+ Points Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
