2020 Joshua Cooper Doug's Vineyard Pinot Noir 750ml Gift Box 94 points – James SucklingDrinking Window: 2022 2031 Critic tasting note: (2018 vintage) "This rising star small batch producer in the cool climes of Victoria's Macedon Ranges has crafted a Pinot that's both delicate and powerful, with a stripped back and rustic yet pristine vibe, enticing aromatics of crunchy red berry and plum, cinnamon bark and heaps of florals. There's a crisp freshness to the palate, like an early spring morning. It's anchored to stalky, savory tannins.
