2013 Mad Fish Western Australia Pinot Noir

My most recent wine discovery is a very drinkable pinot noir at around $16. It's difficult to get a good pinot noir cheaply – but here it is: 2013 Mad Fish Western Australia Pinot Noir. Trust me, if you can, it's a drinkable pinot, and (relatively) cheap. The grapes are produced by Burch Family Wines from the cool climate Great Southern region of WA (pinot noir is traditionally produced in the cold), which equals the 'Porongurup ranges ... a small sub-region of cool climate elevated vineyards. The winters … are bitterly cold and the soils are extremely ancient … producing low yielding vines'. The colour is that clear red you'd recognise as pinot, with cherry and nuts in the perfume and honey and jam on the palate.
