Happy Pinot Noir Day!
As some of you astute Pinot lovers may be aware – August 18 is International Pinot Noir Day!
To help celebrate – and get us into the mood – I found a few bottles that I have collected on happy Perfect Day Tours.
Now which one should we open?
From from left to right the Pinot Noirs are as follows.
1. Oakridge Wines – Henk’s Vineyard 2016 – Yarra Valley.
2. Passing Clouds 2018 – Kilmore. (Winery at Macedon Ranges).
3. Maddens Rise 2012 – Yarra Valley.
4. Curly Flat 2014 – Macedon Ranges.
5. Quealy ‘Seventeen Rows’ 2014 – Mornington Peninsula.
6. Pimpernel ‘Pinot Noir Two’ 2015 – Yarra Valley.
7. Red Hill Estate Cellar Door Release 2018 – Mornington Peninsula.
8. Kooyong Estate 2016 – (375 ml) Mornington Peninsula.
Some other cracking Pinot’s I have tasted recently are below.

Both emanating from the Yarra Valley, I can vouch that these wines are delicious – and highly rated in the current James Halliday Wine Companion.
