Renowned for crafting uncompromising, site-transparent Pinot Noirs across Victoria with wild yeasts, whole-bunch fermentation, and zero fining or filtration, Bill Downie captured the maritime chill and red basalt soils of the Mornington Peninsula in this classic, high-acclaimed 2010 season. Now resting at peak maturity, the wine opens with an intoxicating, ethereal bouquet of dried red cherries, wild strawberry compote, and blood orange peel, seamlessly layered with damp forest floor sous-bois, dried rose petals, black tea, subtle Asian spices, and game. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, silky, and profoundly savory, featuring melted, velvety tannins integrated with a vibrant vein of cool-climate maritime acidity that drives an extended, perfumed, and mineral finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 2010\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion\/Appellation:\u003c\/b\u003e Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e William Downie\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape:\u003c\/b\u003e 100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e Fully Mature, Artisanal, Ethereal, and Savory Cult Australian Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect for (food pairing):\u003c\/b\u003e Fine cuts of slow-roasted rack of lamb with a delicate rosemary and herb crust, pan-seared duck breast with a spiced cherry reduction, roasted squab, pan-fried quail, or tender venison loin.
