The 2022 DML Yarra Valley Pinot Noir nose displays sweeter red fruits, namely stewed strawberries, cranberries, cinnamon spice and a hint of creamy French oak. The palate is crunchy, red fruited with a silky fresh finish of impressive length. The extremely fine bead of tannin that runs through this wine offers length and drive to the finish.

“In these days of escalating prices, its very good to see these wines have shed $20 a bottle since the last vintage. The press release offers tasting notes on the wines by Sam Middleton, and hes done a pretty good job of it. Maybe we should offer him a job? Itd give him a bit of work, although it may well be too much for him, you know, working. Only joking Sammy, we know you do the waxing of these D.M.L wines.
Red fruits, cinnamon, almond, some spice, mint and tobacco. Medium-bodied, sappy and savoury, peach and strawberry, a certain juiciness to it, fine grained tannin with some orange peel on a finish of good length. Its maybe a bit squishy, but has no shortage of charm. Good wine all up.”
