2006 Frogmore Creek, Pinot Noir, Tasmania, Australia

It's very rare to have a wine from Tasmania and even more rare to have a decent Pinot under $20. This Pinot is fluid and soft. The cool climate brings forth some fresh cherry notes with great acidity. This is a food Pinot, not a big meal-deal Pinot. With 10 months in oak (30% new), this wine is balanced for fall mushroom flavors.
