Cannibal Creek

2001 Pinot Noir 

Winemaker's comments

The wine was matured in French Oak, giving it a terrific balance and structure, more typical of 'Old World' pinots.

Strong cherry and violet aromas dominate the nose, leading to a lush palate bursting with redcurrants and oaky hints from the barrel ageing. Soft tannins lead through a very smooth finish.

Drink now, but don't be afraid to lay this down for several years to draw out further 'oakiness'.

It is claimed by some (not us!) that good Pinot Noir cannot be made in Australia - try this and find that sentiment to be wholly erroneous.
