2015 Mount Edward Pinot Noir
Buying options
Tasting notes
Pisa and Bannockburn subregional blend. Organic. Pale ruby with a garnet touch. Broad and rich, with creamy, vanilla and cinnamon oak, over ripe not jammy, mixed red-berry fruit. Relatively full body, with firmer, chalky tannins, more power and smoky intensity. Warmth at the finish. Decent acidity though. (TJ)

Slightly darker fruited and more concentrated than the 2016 TED, the 2015 Pinot Noir remains a medium-bodied offering, redolent of rose petals, black cherries and spice. Only 15% new oak was used, so it remains in the background, letting the fruit shine and leaving the fruit tannins to carry the structure. They spread out across the palate, fanning out on the finish to leave behind a gentle coating of silky dryness.
