ONLY 3 BOTTLES LEFT OF THIS DISCONTINUED WINE.

Here are the tasting notes for Coombe Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2022 — a cool-climate Pinot Noir from Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia:

🍷 Appearance

• Medium ruby colour typical of Yarra Valley Pinot Noir, hinting at both red and darker fruit intensity.

👃 Aroma (Nose)

• Fresh perfumed aromatics featuring dark purple fruits layered with subtle smoky wood spice.

• Expect characters of red currants, wild raspberry and nuanced earthy notes that add complexity.

👅 Palate (Taste)

• Red fruit domination on the palate — think raspberry, red currant and plum flavours carried through from the nose.

• The fruit is complemented by soft spice and woody nuances from light whole-bunch fermentation and oak influence.

• Medium weight with a balanced texture: lees work contributes a rounded mid-palate and bright acidity gives lift.

🍶 Structure & Finish

• A fairly medium-bodied Pinot Noir with well-framed tannins that provide structure without overwhelming the fruit.

• The finish is clean and elegant, showcasing persistence of the juicy red fruits and spice notes.

🍽 Food Pairing

Pairs nicely with:

• Roast duck or chicken

• Pork with herbs

• Mushroom risotto or grilled salmon

• Charcuterie and medium-strength cheeses

Style summary:
This vintage reflects the Yarra Valley’s cool-climate Pinot Noir style — perfumed red fruit, subtle earthy/spice complexity, soft tannins and bright acidity — making it approachable now but also suitable for short-term cellaring.
