Coal River Pinot Noir Tolpuddle 2022, Tasmania

Tolpuddle has firmly cemented its position at the pointy end of the Tasmanian pinot noir
pyramid, consistently producing knockout wines that have become a benchmark for the
region. Nothing changes with the 2022 release, which shows wonderful fruit intensity
and oodles of pinosity in a graceful package. Lovely pure dark cherry and wild
strawberry fruits, cut with exotic spice, charcuterie, roasting game, shiitake broth, amaro
herbs, purple floral tones and complex forest floor notes. Textural and elegant yet with an
undercurrent of latent power and intensity, a tight tannin frame and a long finish that
shows balance and poise. Just wonderful stuff.
