Anton Van Klopper makes some of the most profound Adelaide Hills Pinots that I've tasted, right up with Ashton Hills. I've tried a few vintages of the Monomeith and each year it is the favorite of his individual vineyard series. They are made with great care and foresight.
Lucy Margaux Vineyards Monomeith Vineyard Pinot Noir 2010
Oh Baby this bursts from the bottle with cinnamon, crushed rock and smokey rhubarb. Complexity is not an issue as there is brightness and a little crunchiness that I love while the flavours are rolling on top of each other for my enjoyment. I would serve this with a rabbit pie as the acidity would cut through the fatty pastry, leaving me with all things good!
