2017 Castle Rock Estate Porongurup Pinot Noir

Good retention of hue and depth. This is one of the best pinot noirs from Castle Rock (’11, ’12 and

’14 were also 96 points). The bouquet and palate seamlessly interact, each with red cherry, wild strawberries, mirror-smooth but important tannins and totally integrated oak. Can’t be climate change, but could easily – indeed most likely – be greater vine maturity. 13% alc. RRP $38 / 2030 / Castle Rock Estate castlerockestate.com.au
