Although Patrick are Coonawarra based, this Pinot Noir is sourced from Mt Gambier just down the road.
There's good energy about the aromas. Strawberries and red cherries, lillipilly berries and a dash of cured meat for good measure. A plummy drive meanders through the mouth but flavours are quite muted lacking the vibe set by the aromas. A lick of menthol peered out to say hello a little later. It's soft in its delivery no less with lingering spices. All up, it didn't stack up that well in a line up of four similarly priced Pinots.
Drink now to three years.
