The Hurley Vineyard Lodestone Pinot Noir 2019 from Mornington Peninsula typically showcases bright, energetic aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, often intertwined with delicate earthy notes like forest floor, mushroom, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it’s elegant and medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity supporting a core of red fruit. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without being aggressive, leading to a long, savory finish with lingering spice and mineral undertones. As it ages, more complex notes of dried leaves, truffle, and game can develop.
