Curly Flat Pinot Noir 2021
$78
Most of the better Macedon Ranges pinot noirs are ever-so surly in their youth. This one too. The fruit here is backward, in a good way. It tastes of red cherry and plum with an earthen, sweet-sour edge, though bunches of twig, juniper and general herb notes are at play too, if in an integrated way. Complexity, it certainly has covered. There’s excellent tannin here, a solid-if-fine-grained frame, though it’s not delivered at the expense of flow. This moves along in a brooding, thoughtful way, as if concerned about its future, not that it needs to be. Everything, for this wine, in time, will be just fine. 94+ Pts. Drink 2026 - 2033+. Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front.
