About this product
James Halliday's founding expression of Yarra Valley Pinot Noir — the wine that established the region's cool-climate credentials. From Coldstream Hills's best parcels on the upper Yarra's red clay soils: translucent ruby with aromas of sour cherry, dried rose petal, forest floor, and the characteristic eucalyptus-herb note of cool-climate Australian Pinot. The palate is precise with silky tannins and a long, mineral-edged finish.
