Pinot Noir. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.


The thing about Pinot, unlike Shiraz or Cabernet, is after having a few different bottles you can start to quickly discern what is a good Pinot and what one contains faults along the way in the wine making process. Shiraz for example can cover some mistakes easily and make it passable. You cannot do this with Pinot. Devil's Corner is $14-20 depending where you go.


The 2005 vintage Kooyong is probably going to be the best Pinot Noir experience you could have. Big fruit flavours with all the elegance you would expect. Price varies from $45 - $70.


You know what, for $22 approx this Sticks Pinot blows most others in the $40-$60 range out of the water. Enjoy with warm olives and goats cheese.

  1. Great I will give the Sticks Pinot a go. Love Pinot, keen to find a good but reasonably priced bottle.
