The latest release from Nelson da Silva and Johan Axlund’s Vinedrops label and perhaps the best yet. It’s a juicy, fruit driven Pinot built simply and openly. Commercial appeal +.

Genuine cherry lift to the nose, with that slightly ferrous Adelaide Hills edge. An open and welcoming nose. Sweet palate is a bit juicy and soft and caramelly but the shape of it
is still pleasant. Should settle in the bottle. Nice redcurrant line through
the finish too.

A very pleasant and even wine of freshness and simplicity. Easy. 17/90

(Footnote: Nelson is a friend so I’m willing to take any accusation of bias. Still think this is the best wine of his releases so far).

    I met Nelson at a Berowra Food and Wine outing, really impressed with his taste in wine and much of his 'collection' was rather good. I enjoyed the Pinot (not sure if 09 or 10), and the price is right!! Will revisit!

    Mind you that first post smells of a processed pork product. Possibly more poor form by a marketing company similar to recent Howard Park spam??

    Glad you liked the wine TiggerK, yes it was also the 2010. It's just starting to find it's straps with 3 months in the bottle. We're really happy to get a good Pinotever everyone to enjoy at such a great price.
    Wine lover, we agree, they're great looking bottles for Christmas gifts. There's certainly some bottles under peoples Christmas trees already.
