Chris Hill Reserve Pinot Noir Adelaide Hills 2008

Pinot Noir is my favourite variety; it can be challenging and unforgiving but when everything goes right it’s a wonderfully rewarding experience. This wine has a bright crimson hue with hints of brick red. The bouquet is intense with fresh strawberries, sweet vanillin oak, and mocha and chocolate. The palate is big and chewy with smoky oak, earthy mushrooms and herbs. The tannins are gripping but smooth and the finish combines hints of cinnamon spice and savoury truffles. This is a wine that will reward careful cellaring but its superb drinking now especially when paired with flavoursome duck dishes, pate or mushroom risotto.
