S
ourced from Dixons Creek and Tarrawarra in the Yarra Valley, the Vinoque Pinot Noir offers plenty of bang for your buck. It’s not as exciting as the Gamay or the Nebbiolo from the same range but it provides capacious drinking pleasure.
Cherry, raspberry and plum are all represented as forest characters and rhubarb are woven through the palate. Suggestions of herbs, cinnamon and anise. A vibrant, easy drinking Pinot that avoids the simple fruitiness that can plague so many expressions at this price point. 90 Good
