Grey Sands Pinot Noir 2012
$98.00
Richly flavoured and powerfully structured, this sleeper of a pinot has become an assertive, Volnay-styled wine of complexity and character. It’s heady and spicy, with layers of rich red and black berry/plum flavour that still retains some primary quality. Also sporting some faintly meaty, gamey development and underpinned by a firmish, grainy spine, it has developed length and power plus some remarkable varietal expression. A truly stellar and genuinely savoury wine, and one I did not predict would evolve into this standard. Happy to admit I was wrong!

Grey Sands
Grey Sands is a 3.5 ha vineyard of no less than 17 close-planted varieties, at 8800 vines per hectare. I have no doubt that this is one of the most significant sites in Tasmania, and over the years I have given high ratings indeed to its Pinot Gris, Merlot and The Mattock (merlot-driven right bank Bordeaux blend). A recent revisit of some mature wines has given me plenty of reason to include Grey Sands' Pinot Noir as a benchmark of this variety, especially when given 5-8 years of cellar life. The wines are not only especially affordable in this crazy market but are also released in most cases with genuine bottle age. I'm a huge fan, especially of the finesse and structure of the reds. Adding to all this is a recent Malbec tasting that took me straight to Cahors. Wonderful stuff! No wines were made in 2020 due to poor conditions.
