Valli Bendigo Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023

$79.99

The 'bigger' of all the Valli Pinot's.

"This classy red should flourish for a decade or longer. Fragrant and weighty, it has highly concentrated cherry, plum and spice flavours, ripe, complex and savoury. A serious “brooding” red, it reveals notable density and lovely harmony" Michael Cooper

"Impressively complex and enticing, the wine shows dark plum, cured meat, fennel, porcini, and cedar characters on the nose. The concentrated palate exhibits outstanding depth and weight, combined with plush texture and bold tannins, making it brooding yet balanced with a persistent, sophisticated finish. At its best: 2026 to 2038" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2025 97/100

“The 2023 Bendigo Vineyard Pinot Noir is powerfully ripe and concentrated, and it has softer acidity than the Bannockburn tasted next to it. I like this wine very much… It really penetrates the palate with flavor and is built with such complexity and layers. Texturally, the tannins are plentiful but remain pliable, and there is a real garden-rose floral character here that persists beyond the intense cherries, raspberries and moss. This is a gorgeous wine, thoroughly recommended” Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

"Black cherries, terra-cotta, strawberries, orange peel, flint and dried flowers follow through to a medium body with fine and silky tannins and a lightly chewy finish. Shows tension and focus. Drink in two or three years and beyond" James Suckling
