Mac Forbes Pinot Noir 2021 Review
The Yarra Valley is known for its Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Mac Forbes's love for this valley is as deep as the soils he mines to find the best spots for his vines. This Pinot Noir is a great example of the balance that can be achieved here. The wine offers a big, bold, and round cherry nose that is tinged with minerality. It has a surprisingly deep and fruity mouthfeel with a juicy, welcoming palate. It is casual and also thought-provoking.
