Bindi Original Vineyard Pinot Noir 2010

Description

The fruit for the Bindi Original Vineyard Pinot Noir 2010 vintage comes from plants dating back to 1988 on the lower slopes of their vineyard. The Original Vineyard has over its history become know for its signature perfumed bouquet and silky, pure palate. This relatively quartz riddled, gently north sloping three acre vineyard produces very fine, spicy, fragrant wine that has high natural acidity and develops beautifully given 6-10 years careful cellaring. Very pure, lifted aromatics – red cherry, faint sous bois, limestone, paprika and cardamon spice. Sweeter tones waft in the glass too. Palate is unctuous, luscious and cool with red cherry again, then some prickly spice, light tannin grip and a fresh wash of pomegranate acidity. Some cedar spice and faint pepper to finish. Fine yet rippling with youthful drinkability now, but with plenty of time to don the mortarboard. – Mike Bennie, Wine Front, 94 Points The Finer Details Style – Red Wine Varietal – Pinot Noir Country – Australia Region – Gisborne, Victoria Vintage – 2010 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 14%
