Rob Dolan ‘True Colours’ Pinot Noir 2023 from the Yarra Valley glides in as a juicy, fragrant modern Pinot Noir that puts ripe red fruit up front without losing tension or drinkability.

The wine shows bright ruby in the glass, layered with vivid aromas of dark cherry, cranberry, raspberry, strawberry and rhubarb, lightly trailed by dried herb, forest floor and a whisper of five‑spice‑like warmth. On the palate, choca‑raspberry, rhubarb and soft cherry notes flow over velvety, plush tannins, framed by lively acidity and a clean, smooth finish that keeps it easy to drink but still satisfyingly structured.

Serve Rob Dolan True Colours Pinot Noir 2023 with char‑kway teow, crispy mushroom tartine, duck with cherries, or a simple wood‑fired pizza with sausage and mushrooms – its bright fruit and subtle savoury lift will happily keep up with generous, flavourful food without ever feeling heavy.
