[SOLD-OUT] Lethbridge Mietta Pinot Noir 2019

94 POINTS! - WINE FRONT

 

"Cherry and raspberry, a lot of spice and perfume, kind of blue with new oak (if you take my meaning) though the fruit is pretty much up to the task, along with earth and a sort of boot polish on leather thing happening. It’s rich and bold, a little creamy, with dark cherry, raspberry liqueur, spice, porcini mushroom savouriness, and sooty/grainy tannin, plus a finish of good length and intensity, with a subtle sappy bitterness to close. It’s a bold wine, no doubt, that speaks well of Geelong." - Gary Walsh, Wine Front

 

"I have always been worried when winemakers make exalted claims that each vintage is the vintage of the century.

The wet spring made us fear that another cold wet vintage was on the way, but as November came to an end so did the wet weather. The rest of the season turned out to be one of the most pleasurable that I have witnessed.  Cool ripening conditions with just enough rain so that the vines were perfectly set up to produce fruit of exceptional quality. We see if these wines will rival our best years of 2005 and 2017

‘80% whole bunch vinification may not appeal to all, but I am more than happy with the forest floor and soaring spices. 100% new French oak was justified, and has been almost entirely absorbed by the fruit." Ray Nadeson, Winemaker and co-owner of Lethbridge Wines
