Moss Wood Pinot Noir 2016 has just been released and it is very good indeed. It’s medium to full bodied with depth to the strawberry and cherry flavours and finishes brightly. There’s also a hint of tangy sourness and earthy complexity. Moss Wood released their first Pinot in 1977 long before Pinot became widely embraced by the Australian public in the mid 2000’s. Keith Mugford’s craft and experience are apparent here in the best Moss Wood Pinot I’ve tasted. If you haven’t tried it before it will defy expectations of what can be done with Pinot in the region. It’s also highly age worthy.
