Review: Ten Minutes By Tractor Coolart Road Pinot Noir 2021

Coolart Road is the biggest vineyard in the Ten Minutes By Tractor portfolio and is the main one ‘down the hill’ on the lower side of Mornington Peninsula. The expression here is riper, more raspberry, and generous, which fits nicely with this Ten Minutes By Tractor Coolart Road Pinot Noir 2021

Raspbeery ahoy! Lots of plum and raspberry jam. Both ripe and fleshy, but it gets firm and dark too – there’s a bit of black fruit plum in there. Excellent Pinosity, but gee it’s brooding through the middle. love to see how different this is compared to the elegant Judd for example. Another success story, even if I like the refined Pinot from ‘Up the hill’ a little better in 2021.
