Dawson James Pinot Noir Tasmania 2011
$95.00
Description
96 Points GOLD Halliday Wine Companion 2021 “Bright, clear crimson-purple; the bouquet has abundant satsuma plum and black cherry fruit, the palate supple, smooth and mouthfilling while retaining elegance and freshness; the tannins are ultra-fine, but there is no shortage of structure, demure oak in the background. A beautifully made wine.”
More than 10 years on this wine displays attractive development. Reminiscent of mature Burgundy.
ABOUT DAWSON JAMES
“Wine that is made for love, not profit” - James Halliday. Dawson James was born of a friendship and winemaking partnership between Peter Dawson and Tim James. With a collective experience of more than 80 vintages, the opportunity of making world class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay drew them to Tasmania. The cool and dry climate, hungry soils and 30 + year-old vines grow grapes with great depth of flavour and intensity of character. Our winemaking philosophy is based on picking fruit with a natural balance of flavour and acidity. A very simple approach to winemaking allows fruit quality to shine through.
