Joshua Cooper Doug's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2024

It’s great to have this wine available in decent supply again after a few frustratingly low-yielding vintages for Josh. This has plenty of fruit weight and substance, held within an elegant frame. There’s blood plum, spice, beetroot and damp earth all presented with silky appeal. Best out of a big round glass. With age I expect to see more mushroom and turned earth complexity to come through. - Ches Cook, Five Way Cellars.

Deep ruby. Bright, concentrated raspberry and blackberry fruit, rose garden in the morning due and potpourri complexed with exotic spice, and a flinty, mineral edge. Concentrated and fleshy throughout the mid plate and long with ribbons of fine velvety tannin and creamy pinot fruits, combined with the typical exotic spice always evident in the Doug’s cuvée.

One of our best vintages from this lovely site, showing the exceptional combination of freshness, depth and structure in an elegant frame. Cellaring will be well rewarded. Winery Note
