The 2003 Pinot Noir does not taste like Pinot with its nose of old, sweaty saddle leather, hard tannin, and in-your-face, sharp edges as well as attitude. Nevertheless, it is a rustic wine (in a positive sense) with loads of character, plenty of spicy, cranberry, black cherry fruit, and a singular personality that is difficult to ignore. Will it get better? I doubt it, but it is certainly interesting. This artisinal winery produces what must be the most idiosyncratic/eccentric wines of Australia. They can be absolutely spectacular, or they can be distressingly irregular, one never knows which until the cork is pulled. I suspect if the late recluse of Chateauneuf du Pape, Jacques Reynaud, were reincarnated in Australia, he might be making the wines at this backwater address.
