Mount Mary Pinot Noir 2002

Mount Mary Pinot Noir 2002Mount Mary is one of the iconic wineries of Australia and one of the jewels of the Yarra Valley. Their Pinot Noir is Yarra pinot at its finest, possessed of rare finesse and purity. The wine is typically medium bodied, with fragrant cherry and strawberry aromas and a vibrant, succulent palate of prodigious length. Production is minuscule. "A pretty, floral and charming pinot with a fragrance of rose petals, strawberries and red cherries over nuances

balanced canopy that keeps fungal diseases at bay and eliminates the need for summer pruning

yet with succulence of cherry fruit and almost a chocolate almond thing going on
