Mac Forbes Coldstream Village Pinot Noir 2023 from the Yarra Valley is a vivid, bright‑crimson Pinot that captures the warmth and generosity of the valley floor while keeping that trademark Mac Forbes finesse. It’s a seductive, plush expression of Coldstream with beautifully layered fruit and spice.

Aromatically, this Mac Forbes Coldstream Village Pinot Noir 2023 shows soft talcy florals, red and dark plum, red and black cherry, baked rhubarb, gentle cacao, menthol and rosebush notes wafting from the glass. The palate is fleshy and even, packed with dark red fruits and savoury cocoa, framed by firm yet fine, gravelly tannins that keep everything in check.

On the table, it’s a natural match for roast duck, lamb racks, crispy‑skin chicken or chargrilled butterflied lamb, where that dark‑fruit core and fine tannin profile really shine. It will also sit beautifully with mushroom ragù, roast beetroot, charcuterie, hard cheeses or a simple wood‑fired pizza – a versatile, modern Yarra Pinot that’s very easy to keep pouring.
