Dalrymple Description

92pts Australian Wine Companion

Accurate, pretty and enticing, there's impressive value here. The rose-petal lift of Pipers River is well married to the wild strawberries and red cherries of the Coal River Valley, singing to the tune of cool-season acid drive. An elegant touch of whole bunches serves to heighten its fragrant, spicy mood. Fine, silky tannins are alluring from day one, and promise short-term confidence.

90pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2022 Pinot Noir leads with a bouquet of dried rose petals, red apple skins and cherry pips. The wine is light and shaped by savory tannins that introduce characters of sumac and nutmeg. It's a classy wine.

James Suckling

Smoky, sweet and simple. A mid-weighted pinot delivering plenty of flavor, if not much refinement. This lacks structure, finishing syrupy and cloying across an easy finish. The second sip is a challenge. Drink now. Screw cap.

Tasting Notes

The aromas are quite refined; wild blackberries mingle with red summer fruits and herbal notes. Given ten minutes in the glass, these characters take on riper notes of blackberry and blackcurrant with edges of black tea and dried provincial herbs. The palate is firm and elegant with fine acidity. With time red cherry, cranberry and a hint of tamarillo build into the mid-palate.

Peppered barbeque pork chops with sautéed apples in a cream brandy sauce, served on a bed of celeriac mash. Cashew cheese, red onion and wild mushroom galette. Also delicious with well-buttered and toasted hot cross buns.

Winemaker Notes

Since the first black cluster vines were available for purchase from Tasmania in 1827, Tasmania has been recognised as a producer of quality Pinot Noir. It was the sloping hills overlooking Bass Strait that made the site unique and inspired the Hill-Smith family to purchase the vineyard, along with distinct single sites around Tasmania in their pursuit to produce the perfect Pinot.

Dalrymple Pinot Noir is a blend of parcels from our own vineyards at Pipers River and Coal River Valley, along with our grower at Ouse. Each site and block is unique with distinctive individual terroirs, building complexity into the final blend.
