Montalto Estate Pinot Noir 2020

 

This Montalto Estate is more about the craftsmanship and skill of winemaker Simon Black than the Pinot itself. Here he brings together parcels of fruit that show greater intensity and structure with Red Hill and Main Ridge being the main players. It's an excellent wine.

Scents of twigs and kicked undergrowth early, dark and drunk cherries shoulder much of the load with flashes of strawberry. I let the glass sit on the bench a while and came back to find blackcurrants had shouldered their way forward. But it's the depth and the considered complex layers of interest that keep you coming back. Bright red apple acidity rolls in on close but the dark fruit and fine spices hold on more than Wilson Phillips. Delightful. Excellent. Yes please!

Drink to eight years.
