As new releases of Joshua Cooper make the rounds, I felt like looking at one of his Pinot Noirs a few years old. The Macedon Ranges are perhaps the sweet spot of Pinot Noir making in Australia. The climate is marginal and there is a fair bit of rain, which Pinot Noir tends to like. A number of new and talented winemakers now try to follow in the footsteps of outstanding Bindi Wines.
All information is on the back label
The 2019 Joshua Cooper Doug's Vineyard Pinot Noir tastes of red and black cherry. There are notes of forest floor. This wine shows an excellent balance between fruit and savoury, earthy notes. At only 12% alcohol, it delivers a full mouthfeel. If I had a gripe, the wine could be more detailed and precise, but the overall impression is attractive. Fine tannins lead to a medium to long finish.
Score: 93/++
