Yarra Yering - Carrodus Pinot Noir - 2021

Made from a small parcel planted in 1969. Whole berries with some stalk return, 35% new wood. A light, bright crimson. Perfumed and savoury with red and dark fruits together with some woodsy, stalk-influenced notes, too. There's an old-vine creaminess on the very well-balanced palate and ripe, persistent and velvety tannins rounding out a wine that can be confidently cellared for at least 10 years. 96 Points Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion
