2005 BREAM CREEK RESERVE PINOT NOIR !! $39.95 REGION: SOUTHERN TASMANIA, TASMANIA The first release of a Reserve Pinot Noir from Fred Peacock's Sorrell vineyards; and what a delicious wine! From the outstanding 2005 vintage in Tasmania, it snared two trophies at the prestigious 2006 Royal Hobart International Wine Show – winning trophies for the Best Tasmanian Red Wine and Best Tasmanian Wine . "This Tasmanian pinot is a multi-trophy winner and at about $39 a bottle is a great drink. You'll have to look very hard to find as good value in pinot noir from anywhere in the world . A delectable wine now and, I suspect, for another seven years at the very least." Huon Hooke, The Age Good Weekend – Wines he drinks for pleasure "Bream Creek's 2005 Reserve pinot noir ($39), made from grapes grown on mature vines at bream Creek, won the 2005 and older class at the recent regional Tasmanian Wine Show. At nearly three years old, it's as fresh as the proverbial daisy and thouroughly delicious, showing a finesse and structure that many modern pinots lack , as well as the extra character that bottle-age contributes. Dark-coloured, opulent, super ripe 'fruit-bomb' pinots are fashinable, but are seldom satisfying beyond the first sip or two. But I could drink seversl glasses of Bream Creek and enjoy each sip more than the last. I suspect it will keep for many years and have stashed a few bottles in the cellar in expectation of future pleasure." Huon Hooke, The Age Good Weekend "Vigneron/owner Fred Peacock is a viticultural legend. This wine (06 Bream Creek Pinot Noir) and the great 2005 Reserve are proof of his skills." James Halliday, Weekend Australian "The 2005 vintage was the best for Tasmania since 2000, the quality spreading across all varieties, but giving the ever-temperamental pinot noir no excuse to be difficult… Those of you interested in buying the wines but hesitant to do so sight unseen can rest assured with the top '05s. They have rarely enjoyed such depth of colour, flavour and richness of texture, while retaining the grace and finesse of quality pinots. Some, indeed, challenge Central Otago, New Zealand's hottest pinot producer. 2005 Bream Creek: Bright and lively with red berries and five spice on the bouquet; vibrant palate, with good acid, and a clean-fruited finish; velvety, long and supple . Top gold, Tas Wine Show '08. Drink Now - 2012." James Halliday - 95 points "The first ever Reserve Pinot Noir produced by Bream Creek is a stand out. Already a multiple trophy and gold medal winner, 2005 produced near perfect conditions for flowering, fruit-set and ripening. Deep clear ruby red; the bouquet has exquisite dark cherry, spice, rhubarb and dried flower characters; the palate shows true finesse- seamless lingering berry fruit flavours with fine silky, smooth tannins. These have all been integrated with perfect oak balance."
