Vandenberg Six Brothers Pinot Noir 2025
AU$50, 13.5% alcohol, DIAM cork, Adelaide Hills.
This is a fine Pinot Noir. It has substance, it has a pretty side, it’s impressively well structured and it extends beautifully through the finish. Win-win-win. Red cherry and strawberry flavours come flashed with elaborate smoked meat and dried flowers characters. The spread of this wine, the gravity and the extended finish are all A-Grade.
