Mac Forbes Pinor Noir Yarra Valley 2008
External Review by WineExpress.com:
Yarra Valley Mac Forbes was born and raised in Victoria’s Yarra Valley. Mac has had broad range of jobs across Australia, France (mainly Burgundy) Italy, Portugal and Austria. Influences of the late John Middleton (Mac held position of winemaker at Mount Mary), Dirk Niepoort (Niepoort wines, Portugal) and Mac’s consultancy in Austria (2004-2008 in Carnuntum) that has helped Mac define his own Euro inspired style. The grapes are sourced from four vineyards; Steels Creek, Dixon's, Woori, Yarra Glen, Coldstream and aged in French oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered. The Wine Advocate scored this elegant red 89 points saying “It gives a pretty perfume of roses and violets with some strawberries and dried herbs. In the mouth this medium-bodied wine is very crisp, elegant and fresh with very soft tannins and a long finish. Drink it now to 2013.”
