Grosset still hasn’t hit a bull’s eye with Pinot Noir, but their 2003 appears to be headed in the right direction. Aromas of Chinese black tea interwoven with clove and cinnamon emerge from this spice-driven Pinot. Drink it up. Imported by USA Wine West, San Rafael, CA; tel. (800) 485-5753 for John Larchet, The Australian Premium Wine Collection.

Smooth and polished, offering cedary, peppery ripe plum and berry flavors, lingering nicely on the fine-grained finish. Drink now through 2008. 20 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Adelaide Hills Select to Add
