title: Quartz Reef 2014 Bendigo Single Vineyard Pinot Noir (Central Otago)
description: Owner-winemaker Rudi Bauer believes in making Pinot Noirs that can age, so it's no surprise that this is darker, firmer and more muscular than most. There's plenty of toast, cedar and coffee-bean-like oak, but it's amply supported by plum and black cherry fruit. The finish is silky enough to make this wine approachable now, but it will likely improve through at least 2025.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Bendigo Single Vineyard
