2024 Bay of Fires Pinot Noir 6 Pack

Shanteh Wale - Winepilot

A spicy concoction of brooding dark berries with little bursts of cherry popping candy that surprise and delight. There are baked plums in syrup with a wash of sturdy tannins, artfully welded into the body of the wine. Oak too is carefully handled, just sidling in, to support the wealth of fruit. Orange and tangerine oils begin to unwind with time swirling in the glass. A exotic and structured wine that would drink well now with veal or equally in 5 years with some venison or game terrines.

Ray Jordan - Winepilot

A vibrant, high-energy Pinot Noir displaying excellent varietal character on both the nose and palate. Once again, winemakers have turned to the Coal River and Derwent Valleys of Tasmania for fruit, producing a wine bursting with punchy red berry and cherry notes, spices, and subtle truffle-like characters. The palate is loaded with red fruits, liberally sprinkled with spice, and held tight by fine, chalky acidity. Sustained and very long.

Dave Brookes - Halliday Wine Companion

Bright ruby with aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry fruits, hints of exotic spice, a curl of struck flint, leaf litter, pomegranate, amaro herbs, roast and dried meats and earth. Lovely, pure, detailed red fruits on the palate, with nicely judged flint and herbal nuance and a flair of spice on the finish as the wine slowly trails off. That '24 vintage is strutting its stuff here.

Tapping into vineyards across Tasmania, this from the valleys of Coal River and Derwent districts north and northwest of Hobart. Built to a varietal style, darker cherries and kitchen herb aromas plus dark rose before the palate receives some complexity with wooded spice notes that add texture as well as a sweet spot mid-length, a soft, feathery feel in the denouement. It all comes together as a logical and finished expression.
