2022 Moorooduc Estate Pinot Noir

Review Summary: A generously fruited light to mid weight Pinot that has a fleshy feel.

The Detailed review: Moorooduc Estate, planted in 1982, was one of the first to be established on the Mornington Peninsula by Richard and Jill McIntyre. With yields of less than 2 tons per acre and the fruit 100% destemmed the resultant wine was matured in French oak with 22% being new for a period of 10 months.
Dark red core with black shaded edges and a dark red hue. Expressive dark cherry, strawberry and rhubarb scents sail out of the glass trailed by some anise, dried herb, bramble, forest floor and spice notes. Light to medium bodied, generous dark cherry, strawberry and rhubarb flavours possess a fleshy feel. Some anise, brambly cedar, forest floor and spicy dried herb elements lie underneath. Polished yet sturdy tannins with a moderately powered conclusion.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
