title: De Bortoli 2006 Reserve Release Pinot Noir (Yarra Valley)
description: De Bortoli's unique approach to harvest timing and extensive use of new oak leaves this wine seeming rather disjointed: coffee and cola notes dominate the tart, cranberryish fruit flavors. I suspect it will show better with a few years' of cellaring, but until then, I remain unconvinced.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Reserve Release
