Dawson James Tasmania Pinot Noir 2020

The 2020 Pinot Noir is sourced from the Meadowbank vineyard, in the Upper Derwent Valley, in Tasmania. The vineyard site experiences warm days and cool nights, largely unaffected by sea breeze, imbuing the wines with a depth and density of flavor that is bolstered by the spine of juicy acidity courtesy of the cool night-time temperatures). The wine itself is savory, littered with autumnal undergrowth, enoki mushroom, black cherries and tobacco leaf. The palate is more succulent than the nose would lead us to believe, and it is rich with umami inflections of bone broth and quince paste. Very good, serious, grown-up Pinot Noir, from two very accomplished makers Pete Dawson and Tim James).

Drink now to 2033

Enticing, complex, seaweedy woodsmoke with ripe dark fruit aromas and a hint of raisin and prune. The palate is bright and fresh, juicy and dense with a creamy and silky finish.
