Mt Crawford is on the edge of the Barossa and not typical Pinot Noir territory.Some whole bunches were used and the wine spent eighteen months in oak. Dried herb and savoury aromas hit me first before a waft of stewy and jammy notes came to the fore. This is a fuller style Pinot.
I'm not too sure why the current release is 2009 but I it lined up against two Yarra Pinots which definitely appeared more fragrant and approachable.
Soft flavours of dried sage and black current were the main players.
Not for me and hard to justify the $35 asking price.
