Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2016 Pinot Noir Coast Range has lovely aromas of dried red cherries and blueberries with touches of cinnamon stick, stewed black tea leaves, potpourri and earth. Medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with black and blue fruits and lovely baking spice accents, with a good frame of fine-grained tannins and mouthwatering acidity, finishing long with potpourri hints. 500 cases produced.

Pale ruby with a hint of purple, the 2015 Pinot Noir Coast Range has a Bing cherry and rose petal-scented nose with hints of cinnamon stick, lavender and wild thyme. Medium-bodied and softly textured, it has lovely vibrancy and plenty of red berry and herbal freshness, finishing with lingering notes of baking spices.

The 2014 Pinot Noir Coast Range was picked at thre-tons per acre in dry and warm conditions between 16 September and 6 October, and sees 16 months in barrel. It has a very composed bouquet with very well-integrated new oak, lifting the crushed strawberry, redcurrant and oyster shell aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a little more sappiness than the 2014 Wichmann Dundee Estate, good body and depth with a gentle grip on the finish that shows as much black fruit as red. Give this 12-18 months in bottle before broaching.

The 2013 Pinot Noir Coast Range, from a mix of volcanic and sedimentary soil, was picked between 10 and 14 October and aged for 11 months in barrel. I much prefer the aromatics here compared to the 2013 Wichmann Dundee Estate, since it displays far more definition and mineralité, an almost gypsum-like tincture to the red berry fruit. The palate is fresh and lithe in the mouth, the oak neatly integrated, smooth in texture with commendable depth. There is something understated but pure about this Pinot Noir, and it gently fans out on the finish to pleasing effect.

The 2012 Pinot Noir Coast Range comes from one of the coolest sites on both volcanic and sedimentary soils. The vines here were planted in 2005. Like the Wichmann, the nose is extremely well defined and pure with perfumed red cherry, cranberry and rose petal scents - perhaps more Burgundy in style, akin to a Vosne or Chambolle-Musigny. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. There is plenty of flesh and substance here, impressive depth with a caressing texture and richness on the finish. Excellent.
