2025 Taylors Jaraman Pinot Noir, Adelaide Hills & Tasmania

Dark cherries and red berries lead the way on the lifted nose against a backdrop of warm Mediterranean herbs and toasty cedar notes. Soft and round, the medium weight palate is framed by the notes of cedar and fine tannins, the fruit fleshy and generous.

An afternoon backyard gathering as the winter sun dips, the table filled with a grand grazing board of contrasting sweet and salty elements—think rich duck rillettes, earthy truffle salami, and a warm, baked brie. This wine is comforting, with soft, and round textures that acts as a soothing bridge across a sprawling, communal spread. The wine’s lifted dark cherry fruit and warm Mediterranean herb notes effortlessly embrace the savory charcuterie, while its fine, silky tannins and gentle French oak structure gracefully cut through the melting fat of the cheeses without ever overwhelming the palate.

Keeping it casual? Uncorking on a weeknight? Pour a glass alongside a simple, comforting bowl of pan-fried mushroom gnocchi tossed in brown butter and sage. The wine’s juicy red berry core perfectly brightens the earthy, pan-seared crunch of the mushrooms, creating a smooth, low-fuss harmony that makes a quiet evening feel incredibly grounded.
