Pepper Tree Limited Release Pinot Noir 2023
$40, 14% alcohol, screwcap, Orange region.

This Pinot Noir is a bit different from the norm but attractive, it most certainly is. Indeed this is a good wine from all angles; it’s perfumed, it has finesse, it’s chararacterful and it’s impressively persistent. Flavours of black cherries, smoked meats, red roses and aromatic herbs combine to delicious effect, the finish itself both ultra-fine-grained and juicy with flavour. The Orange wine region in NSW has made great strides with pinot noir in recent years and this wine is yet more proof of the excellence now on offer. 93 points.
