Paracombe, Pinot Noir, Adelaide Hills, Australia 2013

Nice cool climate freshness and raspberry fruit juiciness, clean, fresh, mouth-wateringly crisp red berry fruitiness.
Izadi, Reserva, Rioja, Spain 2010
90
Aromas of cedar, cinnamon, and menthol; shows restraint. Full, generous palate with an underlay of red fruit, lifted by citrus acidity, and chunky, but balanced tannins. A classic that will develop well in bottle.
Shaw + Smith, Pinot Noir, Adelaide Hills, Australia 2013
90
Ripe, sweet, pure vision style. Refreshing acidity, but quite deep flavours of fresh young cherry. Silky textured tannins, elegantly styled with a lively savoury fresh bite to the finish.
Gen del Alma, Ji Ji Ji, Gualtallary, Tupungato, Argentina 2014

Patricio Tapia: A lovely, wine to sit next to the swimming pool with; honest, refreshing, filled with cherry notes and violets and flowers with a little music playing in the background, so nice and tender. The ideal wine for the most sophisticated picnic.
Garcia Carrion, Pata Negra, Reserva, Rioja, Spain 2010

Refined, elegant, quality cedar, crisp acidity, chewy palate, quite firm, fresh and beautifully made. Time will bring this many rewards. A sleeper worth waiting for.
