Russell & Suitor Isabella Pinot Noir 2025
AU$50, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Tasmania.

This is a complex Pinot Noir with excellent concentration of flavour and lots going on through the finish as well. This is a wine that will woo some folks. It’s juicy, both red and black cherried, run through with undergrowth and twiggy spice notes and gently smoky and reductive. It has excellent length, a pretty rose-hip character, well-judged tannin and a general structural integrity. This is a quality Tasmanian Pinot Noir.
