Pikes Vintners Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir 2004

This wine, another cleanskin from Pikes had on the nose a nice bouquet of classic pinot aromas of cherry, earth, mallow, mulch but not quite truffles. On the palate it was relatively light, dry and reasonably persistant with sour cherry, caramel and spice. Headed slightly towards becoming volitile, probably due to the %14 alcohol. Overall quite impressive for a Pinot Noir under $10, not really that far behind in quality of say a $25 pinot. Great value.
50+4+13+15+8 = 90/100
