Bright deep garnet in colour; intense aromas of lifted raspberry, cherry liqueur fruits mixed with toasty charry oak over a brooding layer of smoked meats. Juicy dark cherries are complemented with supple mouth filling tannins. A savoury backbone and a charry oak edge underlie a tightly structured wine which finishes long and clean. Drink now or in 3-5 years
Vineyards
The year 2001 saw two new clones of pinot noir (D4V2 and Burgundy 115) come on stream adding to the already mature 'Droopy' clone at Fonty's Pool Vineyard. All the clones are grown on ironstone gravelly loams associated with the native marri and jarrah eucalypts (these soils promote less vigour than the more common karri loams of the region). The original pinot noir vines were planted in 1989, whilst the two new clones were planted in 1997 and 1999 with all vines spaced at 3.0 x 1.5 metres (2200 vines per hectare) and either spur or cane (115 clone) pruned on a bilateral cordon. Shoots are trained vertically between wires on a 1.8 m trellis. Extensive hand positioning of shoots, selective leaf removal on the eastern aspect of rows and bunch thinning is practiced. The deep soils require irrigation to be used only sparingly to encourage balanced vine growth and physiological development. . Vintage: 2006. Style: Soft & Supple Reds.
