Tasting Notes

Light garnet red.
Crushed strawberries, ripe cherries and delicate pink florals dance around a complex line of freshly tilled earth.
Pretty red fruits fill the front of the palate which extends to reveal darker, more brooding elements. Lovely, fragrant spices build along with the gently firm yet supple tannin profile. The finish is expansive; full of complexity, energy and deep satisfaction.
Drinking beautifully now but will also reward patient cellaring over the next 10+ years.

It turned out to be a very good year in the Yarra after a few early season challenges, and this is a cracking wine. It opens with an exotic strawberry and cherry combination working with elevated violets and rose petal. The light to medium bodied palate is a pure joy with lifted vibrant fruit displaying appealing strawberry and spice with deeper damp earthy overtones. Fine minerally tannins and well-managed oak complete an outstanding wine.

A light, bright ruby red. Ultra fragrant with its aromas of red cherries, cranberry, blood oranges, rose petal, nutmeg shavings and a dusting of cinnamon. And while it's light on its feet, the flavours keep building on the palate, which finishes with silky, persistent tannins on the lingering finish. A wine that's destined to provide considerable pleasure over the next six to eight years.

Yarra Valley does serious, reserve-style Pinot Noir with that extra touch of class. Here, fruit sourced specifically for the job takes on a deeper complexity and power, building real presence in the glass – weighty and, yes, delivered with serious intent. Deep red fruited aromas join black cherry wild blueberry, plum and spice. Yering Station gets the oak treatment just right, not intrusive but a background player that brings an added layer of interest, an extra touch of texture, delivering in tandem with fine knit tannins, a well-structured wine that flows.
95
12 days skin contact and matured in 10% new barrels for 10 months. Mostly a mix of MV6 and D5V12. The signature perfume that comes with the Yering Station Reserve range hasn’t faltered in this incarnation. Russian cherry tea, Hawthorn and boysenberries. Blood plum and Averna bitters. Lilac and blackberry bush florals. Shaved licorice root, cumin and poppy seed. Red berries on the palate with crunchy, astute acidity. Tannins are silky and fine and create a finely spun web of construction. Full of class and one for the long term contemplation. Drink now or will cellar well for another 6-8 years.
92
Fresh, youthful colour, medium in depth, with good purple tints. There are some dusty/herbal/potato peelings aromas at first sniff, suggesting some stems in the ferment. A quiet nose to start with, then red cherry/raspberry fruits take over, and the palate is quite intense and focused, just medium-light in weight, and heightened by lively acidity. A little extra time in bottle wouldn't harm it.
