TARRAS VINEYARDS THE CANYON PINOT NOIR 2017

Winery notes (2017 Vintage)
"A single vineyard wine made exclusively from The Canyon Vineyard at Bendigo and labelled as The Canyon only in vintages when it is exceptional. Beautiful floral aromas with elegant berry fruits, spice and dried herbs. The palate is elegantly opulent with ripe fruits, great acidity, ample tannins and excellent length. Remarkably ageworthy. When opened in its youth, The Canyon Pinot Noir may take a little time in the glass to unveil the full depth of flavours and complexity."

5 Stars & 95/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, August 2020 (2017 Vintage)
"The Canyon vineyard is in the upper terraces of Bendigo and is only made in exceptional vintages. It’s an elegant pinot noir with bright cherry, berry and spice flavours and an attractive floral influence. Purity and persistence. A stylish wine with cellaring potential."

5 Stars Michael Cooper (2017 Vintage)
"The fragrant, complex 2017 vintage was estate-grown at Bendigo. Full-coloured, it is rich and savoury, with deep cherry, plum and spice flavours. Still youthful, it is finely structured and well worth cellaring to 2023+."

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, August 2020 (2017 Vintage)
"Offering impressive fruit richness with seductive spicy/savoury undertones, the wine shows sweet cherry, vanilla, cedar, charcuterie and subtle dried herb characters on the nose, followed by a wonderfully concentrated palate that displays excellent depth and expansive mouthfeel. It's elegantly opulent, filled with complex flavours, making it hugely appealing. At its best: now to 2027."
