ANGULLONG FOSSIL HILL PINOT NOIR 2024 ($30 / Orange NSW)
90 Points
Quoting owner / vigneron Ben Crossing.." Fossil Hill range aims to present well-made, varietally diverse and consistent wines".
Such is the case with this inaugural 2024 Pinot Noir.
The attractive light crimson colour leads to a release of aromas and flavours reminiscent of chocolate-coated cherries, mixed herbs and coconut.
The lingering savoury French oak-supported palate, accentuates the youthful yet rounded varietal characteristics.
This commendable first release Pinot Noir from the team of Ben Crossing and winemaker Jeff Byrne is another 'bang for bucks' Angullong Fossil Hill wine.
It's fresh and warmly enjoyable now.
