NEW TAS PINOT ARRIVALS

2016 Home Hill Estate Pinot Noir $45: Masterful pinot from one of Australia's acknowledged icon pinot producers, in a great vintage. Home Hill is at Ranelagh in Tasmania's Huon Valley. The aromas bound forth in a 'cavalcade of black fruits' - currants and bramble-berries - with an overlay of vanilla from good French oak. The flavours blossom in the mouth and sweep across the palate. Texture is all here. It is already so plump and silky but with youthful juiciness.

2016 The Dog & Wolf Pinot Noir $49: SOLD OUT! 'Young Gun' finalist Ricky Evans has just released his ultra premium, ultra-limited Pinot from a low-yielding vineyard in St Leonards, an eastern suburb of Launceston. A giving wine, dark fruits mingling with umami elements. Flavours are layered.  Mike Bennie Winefront 96+ points

2016 Dr Edge Pinot Noir $55: From former Bay of Fires winemaker Peter Dredge. A blend of East Coast, Tamar & Derwent fruit. Enhanced aromatics, smoky szechuan, florals. Nervy tension and pinosity. Alive.  James Halliday 97 points
