Pale to medium ruby in colour, the 2014 McCrone Vineyard Pinot Noir is made with fruit from the recently acquired six-hectare McCrone Vineyard, which is 23 years old and has clay in the soil profile that other sites don’t have. It shows off a pretty core of black cherry, red currant and warm cranberry accented by hints of spice, anise, some yeast extract, soy and meat. Medium-bodied with low to medium levels of grainy tannins, it is elegant, concentrated and long through the finish. Drink it now 2025.
