DML VIN - Yarra Valley Pinot Noir - 2023

It’s from the Upper Yarra Valley, though I’m not sure where exactly. Red fruits, a little Campari and blood orange, light spicy oak. It’s light to medium-bodied, raspberry and cherry, a cranberry freshness and crunch to acidity, tannin has a firm sort of pumice stone grip, there’s that orange peel and slight amaro twang to it, dried herb, with a coolness to close, and firm tannin on a finish of good length. It has deceptively firm structure for a delicate wine that probably needs a year or two to resolve. 91+ Points Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
