Brokenwood Beechworth PN 2006 Saturday September 29 is a very divisive day. Do I have a look at a Victorian or South Australian winery? I have picked up a few skills from GW and decided on a win win, NSW winery but made with Victorian Pinot Noir. This is no pussy of a wine. I had not seen it before yet at a very competitive end of the market. It is a blend of three clones of Pinot Noir, 114, 115 and MV6. The colour was bright red and quite deep. The nose was ripe red fruits, morello cherry and a bit of blueberry. The palate was a pleasing set of cherry flavours that went well with food. It was a little short on palate length but had no bitterness or any other detracting characters. Not just any old Port in a storm for me.
