The Mount Mary Pinot Noir 375ml is an exquisite expression of this noble varietal, inviting the drinker’s senses on a captivating journey. On the nose, the wine reveals an alluring medley of ripe strawberries, cherries, and subtle floral notes that evoke a garden in full bloom. There is also a delicate whisper of spice—think of clove and nutmeg—that elevates the aroma to a sophisticated level. As you take your first sip, the initial burst of red fruit is complemented by layers of earthiness, reminiscent of damp forest floor, and a hint of silky chocolate. This complex interplay creates a rich tapestry of flavors that enchants the palate with every swirl and sip.
The texture of Mount Mary Pinot Noir is one of its standout characteristics, offering a velvety mouthfeel that glides effortlessly across the tongue. The body is medium, allowing the wine's vibrant fruit to shine without overwhelming the senses. Bright acidity plays a crucial role in maintaining balance, enhancing the overall experience, while the gentle presence of fine tannins lends structure without harshness. The finish is both lengthy and refined, leaving a lingering impression of sweet plum and a touch of refreshing minerality. This Pinot Noir is a remarkable reflection of its terroir and showcases the vintage's elegance, making it a delightful companion for roasted duck or herb-marinated chicken while also being perfect for cozy evenings alone.
