Tar & Roses Pinot Noir 2025 is a refined and elegant Australian red wine from cool‑climate vineyard sites in Victoria. It shows bright aromas of cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, complemented by subtle floral and earthy notes. On the palate it is light to medium‑bodied with smooth, silky tannins, lively acidity, and a fresh, fruit‑driven core that leads to a graceful, lingering finish. This versatile Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, salmon, grilled vegetables, and soft cheeses.
A bright, upbeat style that propels the grape's red fruits, dark cherry and spice notes forward and mixes them with some savoury influences that bring an extra dimension. The palate has a supple feel to it, with undertones of bracken, dried leaves and undergrowth amid the fruit power and spice. Tannins sweep effortlessly through. - 92 points, Jeni Port
