Sourced from 19 year old Mornington Peninsula vines, this wine was always going to be a source of interest for us at Cloudwine given Phillip Jones of Bass Phillip is credited with winemaking duties.
As expected signature appearance - dull and dirty blood red, murky and very unfiltered. Striking nose of intense spice and savoury fruits, screams of the Jones 'house' style. Challening palate, more spice, acid cut, savoury fruits, all delivered in a painfully intense manner. Very similar to the Jones' produced Drummond's pinots from Leongatha. Quite broad in the mouth and shows good length. I thought it was getting a touch loose and possible getting near the end of its useful life. Hasn't showed as well as other Jones wines of a similar age but this wine is full of interest, it's a dirty mutha and serves as a good example of what Mornington Pinot can do with a left field maker.
