Coldstream Hills Pinot Noir 2005
Absolutely charming early-drinking pinot noir, with genuine underlying structure and texture. Its floral perfume of rose petals, red cherries and cedar/chocolate/vanilla oak reveals spicy, clove-like undertones, while its smooth, silky and pristine palate explodes with the brightness of youthful pinot fruit. Supple and succulent, it’s long and juicy, but finishes clean and savoury.

Winery
Coldstream Hills
A world class cool climate producer, Coldstream Hills was founded by wine writer James Halliday, who retains an association with this brand that now fits so neatly into Treasury Wine Estates' extensive folio. By any measure it is now a celebrated brand and one of true international standard, releasing wines of seamless balance and harmony. Now having reached its 30th anniversary, it's perhaps time it was given the credit it's due. Winemaker Andrew Fleming now has a green light to explore individual sites, as witnessed by the steadily increasing number of single vineyard wines under this label. Coldstream Hills has the luxury of only releasing Reserve level and single site wines when quality commands it, so is today one of the most dependable makers of Yarra Valley wine with a distinctive smooth, creamy and generously flavoured house style.
