Very pale ruby in color, the 2008 Yarra Glen Pinot Noir gives cool climate scents of strawberries, beets and fresh herbs. The palate is very crisp and taut with a low level of slightly astringent tannins. Long in the finish, this is one to drink now through 2014. Though his emphasis seems to be on Pinots, Mac Forbes also produces a very good Syrah and Bordeaux blend. Winemaker Mac Forbes, formerly with Mount Mary, has now gone out on his own purchasing fruit from across Yarra Valley and crafting wines to his own unique style. The Pinots in particular have received split opinions from the locals, some adoring these very pale colored, delicate wines while others think he’s gone too far in the “delicate” direction. While I respect his vision, I do think some of the wines are a little lacking in intensity and structure. For those that like to live life on the light side, I think there’s a lot of pleasure to be had from his Pinots as well as the Chardonnays.Importer: Ronnie Sanders, Vine Street Imports, Philadelphia, PA; tel.
