To be honest, Farriside is usually my pick of the wines every release, but this year it was quite obvious, with dad and Jeremy at the shop also agreeing. The nose is immediately appealing and all-encompassing. It’s very aromatic and pure, showing aromas of rose petal, sweet strawberry and blood plum. We agreed that the elegance on display went beyond our expectations for this wine. On the palate it is silky and deep, but with an immediate approachability. Flavours here span brown spice and earth with pomegranate a surprise appearance bringing added lift and brightness. One of those wines which is great immediately but will also clearly reward some cellar time. \u003cstrong\u003e– Ches Cook, Five Way Cellars.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI regularly question my relevance in writing these notes, as such frequent exposure numbs the thrill. I expect a level of quality that is outrageously high and over time, you get used to them. I try to sit back and remember what it feels like to try these for the first time. It seems like an odd position, but in the world of Pinot Noir, there is an abundance of light red wines with some pretty smells, some even have nice texture. This is not that type of wine, it is far, far better.  I’ve had so many of these amazing wines, my compass only has true north.  The needle oscillates a little, but no more than a meander down an equally beautiful path. As I clumsily type this metaphor, I want it to mean that I’ve never had to search for my bearings, the wine is always in the right place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new Farrside is no exception, as it delivers notes of earth, petals, dark ripe fruit and black tea. It smells of spices, dried herbs and lifted notes that remind me of the stems that give this wine such power and life. There is a generosity in evolution to this wine, it is not merely tight and firm, it has softened, it has unfurled, and makes you go back to the glass, time and time again. \u003cstrong\u003eBy Farr\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Five Way Cellars","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":43701224341622,"sku":"22461","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/3331\/7750\/files\/9980_Image1_61f15abc-036e-4feb-a85f-8ba0021960ff.jpg?v=1782878354","url":"https:\/\/fivewaycellars.com.au\/products\/by-farr-farrside-pinot-noir-2024","provider":"Five Way Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
