Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2010 Giles Pinot Noir gives vibrant notes of warm raspberries and cranberries with nuances of Provence herbs, underbrush and lilacs. Medium bodied, crisp and with a medium to firm level of grainy tannins, it offers a very good concentration mid-palate fruit and a long toasty finish. Drinking nicely now, it should cellar to 2016+.
During my visit to Henschke, I was treated to a mini vertical of the Green’s Hill Lenswood Riesling. A single vineyard wine, production is tiny though it can occasionally be seen in export markets and is well worth the hunt. Note that no 2007 Hill of Grace is reviewed here. Due to the tiny production of this vintage (only 8 hogsheads, owing to frost and drought), the release has been delayed and it wasn’t available yet for tasting.
