Spinifex Pinot Noir 2016

From one of the top producers in the Barossa Valley, Spinifex has released a Pinot Noir, a variety that is uncommon in the region.
Despite this, I enjoy Pinots from areas the vines ordinarily don't grow. 
Grown on a single vineyard high in the Barossa Ranges. Wild fermentation, all whole bunches and matured on lees.

A ruby coloured wine with faint hues.
Cherries, red currants, wood smoke predominantly over forest floor earth and mushroom notes.
Palate mirrors the aromatics faithfully with spicy fine-grained tannins on the finish. 
Varietal sweet and sour red berry flavours are quite restrained but it is still a bright, fresh and youthful mid-weight wine that holds its own throughout the journey. 
Works well. There is something I like about this wine and it is a recommendation if you are into trying a different style of Pinot Noir.
