Coppabella The Crest Pinot Noir 2021
AU$60, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Tumbarumba.
This is soft, light and silken. It tastes of cranberries and red cherries, orange rind and an assortment of sweet spice and undergrowth-like notes. It has good flow, a genuine juiciness, and sound follow-through of flavour through the finish. It’s five-years-old and it’s at its drinking peak now.
