Garnet red, translucent at the center with pale rhubarb towards the rim indicates an elegant style of pinot awaits. Aromatically, the wine is quite fragrant with surprising complexity! Dark cherries abound on the nose while earthy, spicy notes add in... Chuck Hayward. A Pinot Noir wine from Victoria in Australia. 2008 Innocent Bystander Pinot Noir 750ml

Winemaker's Notes:

The 2008 season, with long warm summer days and cool nights, produced fruit with ideal ripeness and sugar balance. Vineyard sites are selected for their high diurnal temperature range, resulting in wines with high natural acidity and low pH. All fruit was hand harvested. This super Pinot has a nose of dark cherries, cranberry juice, fresh raspberries, nutmeg, cinnamon, truffles, with underlying meaty, wet earth and mushroom characters. The palate is juicy, succulent fresh berries with a slippery, rich and slightly tart finish. Pair this with char grilled quail and rosemary, Peking duck pancakes or prosciutto.
