Catch Cry of Tasmania Pinot Noir 2013 (Tasmania)
13.5%, Screwcap, $28

Another new release from the Grant Burge backed Vignerons of the World. This was wild fermented and made with minimal intervention using whole berries. A ‘muscular Pinot’ apparently.
A bold and full flavoured Pinot, this smells diffuse, volatile and a little aimless, all red cherries in a muddy pond. The impressively masculine, brawny palate flexes its bacon bit extractive muscles but little generosity lies beneath.

A workhorse Pinot for old school Shiraz drinkers, looking more raw and chewy at every turn.

Almost 25 years ago I started working in a small bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. There, I met my first two loves - wine and craft beer, and they took over my life. Two decades later and I spend my days as a journalist, buyer, wine show judge, marketer and drinks industry consultant.
