Curly Flat Pinot Noir 2006

“Very exotic nose with immediate appeal. Already pretty complex. Lovely freshness and tension but strong mulberry flavours too. Real punchy racy stuff with lovely fruit and acidity.”

“In the mainstream of the Curly Flat pinot style; supple, velvety red fruits open the story, and persist while complex spicy / foresty notes whisper in the background. Pleasure now or later”

“Curly Flat pinot noir has been on a steady rise but this is one out of the box. Jumps from the glass. Heady with perfume, strongly flavoured (for a pinot noir) and then keenly structured, and persistent, through the finish. This is a thrilling wine and inexpensive, in pinot noir terms, for the quality delivered. Quality cedary oak is laced through darkly cherried fruit flavour. Foresty elements. Earthen elements. Sappy elements. A stunning release.”

Curly Flat Pinot Noir represents our passion as winegrowers to faithfully capture the essence of our remarkable site coupled with the unique expression that is derived from each vintage.

Bouquet
Complex and brooding, the bouquet is a core of generous dark fruit that anchors vibrant spice and meaty undertones. A graceful dance of strawberry, black cherry, dark ripe plum.

Palate
Punchy acidity ignites a palate of supple dark fruit and funky secondary characters alongside hints of forest floor and a little spice. Fine, drying tannins are balanced with a long and juicy finish.

Cellaring
Will undoubtedly improve with age.

Alcohol: 13.5%
Closure: Screw cap
Maturation: 22 months in 100% French oak (29% new).

How is this drinking now?
Savoury nose of forest floor/leather complexity in the fore with peripheral black cherry skin flavour. Good structure with moderate length. Drink 2020-2024.
