Bress Gold Chook Macedon Pinot Noir

Adam Marks is one of the most reflective minds in Australian wine right now, and this is his finest pinot yet. Elegantly poised, silky structured, fragrantly lifted, gorgeously perfumed and hauntingly persistent. It unites rose petals, red cherries, wild strawberries, dried herbs and exotic spice into a seamlessly flowing stream which rolls over a tannin bed of silky yet firm and assured structure. $36 at Richardson Street Cellars.
