Pacha Mama Pinot Noir 2023

From a single vineyard in Gruyere; 100% destemmed and matured in French oak (20% new). A medium, bright cherry red. A little closed at first before a few good swirls reveal ripe strawberry and raspberry fruit, some spice and a little earth. The medium-bodied palate is fleshy, with pliant tannins and bright acidity keeping it all nicely balanced. Good now and over the next three to five years at least. Drink from: 2024. Drink by: 2029. Score – 93. (Philip Rich, winecompanion.com.au, Oct. 4, 2024)
