Scorpo Eocene Pinot Noir 2021
$95.00
Heady scents of rose petals, red and black cherries, forest berries and gentle cedary oak reveal faintly earthy, meaty and citrus-like undertones. Underpinned by a firm spine of astringent, slatey tannins, its rich, chewy palate of small berry and cherry flavour extends with remarkable length and drive, as well as balance and restraint, towards a lingering, savoury finish. Everything is in place for this wine to build considerable depth and power over time. Try to give it the chance!

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.
