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.Winsor Dobbin

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