Cobaw Ridge Winery - Original Pinot Noir - 2024

Rhubarb, green mulberry, sappy herbs, white pepper, a quenching affect but also a little drying (like a slice of persimmon can do). This is a curious but compelling, really enjoyable wine, but it sure sits outside the box. Yes, a bit of red berry fruitiness through all this too, and a touch of rose petal in the perfume alongside aforementioned characters, but with a bigger dose of white pepper there. A little thickness and a haze in texture. Like a humid, cool, foggy morning. Tastes also like a wet orchard, flower patch and adjacent veggie garden. Really refreshing. Plenty to see in each sip. This is very good in its way. Nourishing and super drinkable. Love it. 95 Points Mike Bennie, THE WINE FRONT
