The 2006 Pinot Noir displays a plum-scented nose with touches of mulberry and damson, full-bodied on the palate but I feel is just a touch over-worked with a grainy, peppery finish. I think there will be superior Pinot Noirs from Amisfield in the future, but there is no doubt that Jeff Sinnott is on the right track.
Winemaker Jeff Sinnott is a wired ball of energy?and that is before you get him talking about his wines! He tenured at the Isabel winery before his appointment with Amisfield Wine Company in 2001, and his approach is towards hands-off, holistic winemaking, which will be facilitated by the completion of their new winery at the Lowburn vineyard bordering Lake Dunstan. The vineyard itself covers 60-hectares and includes plantings of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc with all fruit estate grown.
