Montalto 'Merricks Block' Pinot Noir 2013 - Magnum

"Medium intense ruby colour. Lovely bright fruits combine with savoury/earthy qualities which have a beautiful interplay. Raspberries, morello cherry, rhubarb, violets, cola and some bushland fragrance on the nose.  Savoury and forest undergrowth flavours add extra dimension to the primary fruit qualities. In keeping with the rest of the 2013 Pinots, it has supple, fluid mouthfeel— enhanced by  fine-grained, clay-textured tannins and a dry spicy finish of excellent length."

Simon Black, Chief Winemaker.

REVIEWS

"Rich fruit – blueberry and dark cherry,  a little funk and stink, gentle cinnamon spice and caramel, floral top notes. Medium bodied, fine dusting of chalk-like texture, clean acidity and light herbal and fresh strawberry tang. Has a pretty long sweet spice dusted strawberry finish. Plenty going on here. Very good.”
