De Bortoli Gulf Station Pinot Noir 2013

Terrific! A gorgeous, silky pinot noir with layers of fleshy black cherries and a satin-rich texture. The grapes for this wine come from the Brookland Vineyard in Australia's Yarra Valley and provide great balance of fruit ripeness and some zingy acidity. Finishes with great vibrancy and refreshment. This balanced red wine shows attractive intensity in the glass. Try this vibrant red wine with cheese pizza. Excellent value. Highly recommended. Pair with: chicken, pasta, planked salmon, braised lamb, roast beef, rosemary pork tenderloin. Drink: 2013-2019. Score - 92. (Natalie MacLean, nataliemaclean.com, Nov. 2014)
