New Releases - Punch Close Planted Pinot Noir 2005

There were around 100 cases of this wine produced and Cloudwine has managed to snap up a few cases for our customers. Punch is the new winery from James and Clare Lance. They began leasing Lance’s Vineyard and Winery at Yarra Valley, from David and Catherine Lance (of Diamond Valley fame). The resultant fruit will be shared between the new label Punch, and Diamond Valley White Label. As you can see, the results so far have been extraordinary. This wine is available at $80 per bottle and orders will be delivered over the next 2 weeks.

James Halliday, 2008 Wine Companion - 97pts
"Slightly denser colour and more purple than the standard Pinot; flows and fills the mouth with perfect varietal character; has an extra dimension of structure. Screwcap. Rating 97 Drinking to 2017."
