Scorpo Eocene Pinot Noir 2019
Firm and drying, with a sumptuous core of black and red cherries and berries, it delivers a moderate but not great length of flavour. It’s floral and perfumed, with spicy rosewater scents and dusty herbal notes, but its oak is just marginally too awkward and its tannins too drying for an even higher rating.

Winery
Scorpo
Somewhat under the radar, Scorpo has one of the Mornington Peninsula's finest vineyards which regularly produces stylish and restrained expressions of finely textured pinot noir, chardonnay, pinot gris and shiraz. The coming into production of the company's close-planted vineyard has given Paul Scorpo's team more options to work with, and has opened the door to some stellar wines under the Eocene Chardonnay and Pinot Noir labels. Completing this stellar range are some terrific wines from pinot gris/grigio and shiraz. Despite some upwards movement in recent years, the wines remain under-priced and to my mind represent exceptional value.
