Chardonnay and Pinot Noir share the honours

The 2001 Larigi is another modern-day 1989

with terrific acids that linger on the finish in mouthwatering fashion

I very much like the sense of proportion and balance here plus the overall quality is stunning for a villages level wine

and keep for a decade or more after that

Calera, Ryan Pinot Noir other_regions_australia Chardonnay and Pinot Noir shareFrom one of the cooler terroirs on the estate, the 2012 Pinot Noir Ryan Vineyard offers full bodied richness and depth to go with ample sweet black cherries, cassis, sassafras, crushed flowers and toasted spice. A decidedly hedonistic, full throttled example of this cuvee, this superb Pinot Noir firms up nicely on the finish and has a full, layered mid palate. Drink it now, or cellar it for a decade.
