Coldstream Hills Esplanade Pinot Noir 2023

Brand: Coldstream Hills

Vintage: 2023

From: Yarra Valley, VIC

Why I like it: 

This Pinot Noir, sourced from the prestigious Esplanade Block of the Syme Vineyard, is elegantly layered with a silky tannin finish. Ready to drink now or perfect for cellaring, it pairs beautifully with savory dishes like grilled pork or beef stew.

Attractive and brooding, with dark cherry characters underpinned by hints of five spice and the wine’s characteristic savoury edge. French oak adds plushness and complexity, with mineral graphite evident in the background.
