Tawse Quarry Road Pinot Noir, Vinemount Ridge VQA 2017 - Bt | Decanter 89

Tasting note

Purchased in 2005, Quarry Road is Tawse’s second vineyard. Pinot Noir was planted in 2007 with a diverse mix of Dijon clones. Dark cherry aromas are infused with a smoky, sweet spice element from partial ageing in new barriques. Taut and linear on the palate, where crunchy fruit is accented by clove. Soft, fine-boned tannins firm up on the finish.

Score: 89
