Singlefile Run Free Pinot Noir 2018

I preferred this Pinot Noir to its more esteemed sibling. This Run Free range is a blend of vineyards from the Great Southern region.

I was patient with this Pinot, but however much I tried, I still found it a struggle to wrap my arms around it. I preferred its cheaper sibling to be honest.

A soft and approachable wine sure to please.

Once splashed in the glass a whiff of oyster shell had me excited.

Singlefile Wines Single Vineyard Pemberton Pinot Noir 2017

An earthy and spicy Pinot from Western Australia's Pemberton region. A cool climate region, this medium bodied wine demonstrates varietal characters which linger long.

Singlefile Wines Single Vineyard Fumé Blanc 2016

This release doesn't have the get up and go which I had hoped for. The 2015 was an energetic type - perhaps a dose of Ritalin would have calmed it a bit. But it had some personality through. This 2016 starting out with creme brûlée and buttered popcorn aromas and I was keen.

Singlefile Wines Single Vineyard Pinot Gris 2015

Classy PG this. Very classy.

Well integrated oak - 25% saw second use barriques for wild fermentation and was left for five months on lees.

Interesting aromas first up of match sticks and pencil shavings. Spiced poached pear rolls through and as time goes on and things settle more Nashi pear reveals as does a subtle nutty character. Texture and complexity but not too weighty - a few well deserved high fives all round I say. A very smart wine.

Very good+

Singlefile Wines Single Vineyard Fumé Blanc 2015

A new winery to me from the west. The sophisticated label caught the eye as did the weighty bottles.

Fifty percent of this Sauvignon Blanc saw French oak (20% of which was new).

Youthful and energetic snow pea and grassy characters seem to be subdued by some Ritalin in the form of creamy oak. The barrel work has done the job tempering the fruit nicely. A faint hint of pineapple husk also seems restrained. The mouth is coated generously with a pinch of spice riding a long finish. Great drinking.

Enjoy over the next few years.

Very good.
