Reviews:

Tarrahill Pinot Noir 2013

Rated: 94 Points Halliday’s Wine Companion 2017

“Some early colour development is evident in a wine with both flavour and textural complexity, this in turn reflecting the use of 40% new Mecurey barrels. I don't want to nitpick, but I'd like to see less oak and/or more fruit evident, regardless of the (high) hedonism factor. “

Tarrahill. Pinot Noir 2014

Rated: 94 Halliday’s Wine Companion 2017

“Pinot noir is forever laying traps for both the wary and unwary. This has riper fruit flavours, yet its alcohol is significantly less than its 2013 sibling, with juicy, plummy fruit to the fore, the oak correspondingly less obvious.”

At the Melbourne International Wine Competition  Tarrahill Pinot Noir 2014 won gold in the $30 and above class and Tarrahill was awarded “Yarra Valley Pinot Noir Winery of the Year”.
