Country: Australia / SV
Variety: Pinot Noir South Australia
Winery: Loom / Adelaide Hills
It’s refreshing to see another importer take a chance on Pinot Noir from the Adelaide Hills, a region that can reliably ripen the variety at reasonable crop loads. This is a rounder, more supple style of Pinot than most from Australia, with cola, spice and cherry notes reminiscent of Dr. Pepper, or of some Pinots from California’s Russian River Valley.
