Our First Review!

We all experience the pangs of nervousness when we put ourselves out there...those quirky moments as we wait on the opinions of peers as they assess our efforts. Tis a fact of life.

So, it was a pleasant moment when Mel and I read our first review of One Bunch Pinot. Winsor Dobbin is a wine writer with a regular column in The Sunday Examiner, as well as a freelance writer for a number of other publications. Here is his blog: http://www.winsorschoice.blogspot.com/

In early January, our wine graced the Sunday Examiner's pages:

One Bunch 2009 Pinot Noir $23

It's always exciting to see the launch of a new Tasmanian label, particularly one with as much promise as this; the first release from Gryphonwood Vineyards, whose vines are at Underwood in the Pipers River region. The wine gets is name because a poor crop meant "just one bunch" of fruit came through in 2009. The owners called on consultant winemaker Guy Wagner to create a blend and this shows immense promise. There's a good balance between fruit and savoury characters and the wine, slightly spritzy on opening, gets better and better as it opens up. It was excellent after two days – and very food friendly. A label to look out for.

So thanks to Winsor for his words, and here's hoping a few more like them come our way!
Cheers,
