Discover the bold flavors of Hoddles Creek Estate 2024 Yarra Valley Pinot Noir. With dominant notes of red berries and dark cherry, this pinot noir offers a firm tannin structure and pleasing acidity. Crafted from the finest grapes, indulge in a taste of luxury. \”I asked Franco if he used more or different oak for this 2024, and he tells me its the same as usual. Only 16% new oak. This weighs in at 14.5% alcohol. Just joking, of course its 13.2%.Red fruit, cherry, a little earthy, with some cinnamon oak showing, and sarsaparilla. Its a more fruity and bouncy expression of Hoddles Pinot, some grainy chew to tannin, a bit of sap and orange rind, something of a ferrous edge, with a stiff tannic finish of good length. Needs a bit of time to come around. Its maybe a little more robust and fruity than is usual for this wine, though its still good.\”92+ Points – Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, April 2025, Drink: 2026 – 2034
