CASTLE ROCK ESTATE 'DILETTI' PINOT NOIR 2023 ($52 / Porongurup, WA)
The elegant label attracts the eye as does the deep cherry hue in the glass.
This youthful Pinot Noir from bespoke Rob Diletti and team is fresh, lively and already smoothly integrated.
The primary primary fruit profile is of maraschino cherry, dried herbs and a hint of tobacco.
It is a savoury, enticing and generous Pinot Noir enjoyable now but will also deliver over the next couple of years.
