Yarra Valley Wine

For this episode I got my hands on a 2016 Shoofly Pinot Noir. Shoofly was founded in 2003 by Ben Riggs. The fruit for this wine comes from the Yarra and King Valley regions in Victoria. There was no oak used. The wine matured on the lees for nine months and then was bottled.

The Pinot was plumish in color, a bit of acidity. Flavors of cherry and spicy notes especially on the finish. Not complex but enjoyable.
