Retaining true Pinot Noir characteristics, the '09 wine is slightly richer and more aromatic than the 2008 vintage, maintaining full, rich fruit with deep berry notes and lunges of spice. Thick slices of dark cherry and blueberry parry with the floral notes on the palate leading to an opulent finish of soft velvety tannins. Delicious to drink young but five years in the cellar will reward your patience. THE LABEL The dictionary definition of ‘Riposte’ (pronounced rip-posst) is comeback, reply, retort, or in the context of the sport of fencing a quick counter stroke. After over a decade of confusion about his name ‘Riposte’ was chosen as an appropriate name for a ‘comeback label’ by Tim Knappstein. THE SWORD NAME – ‘The Sabre’; A fencing weapon with a flat blade, used with cutting or thrusting actions; a military sword popular in the 18th to 20th centuries, mainly used by cavalry
*What the critics think*
2009 – “Light, bright colour; a fragrant bouquet of cherry and a touch of raspberry is followed by a deliciously silky red fruit palate, with a particular echo of raspberry of the bouquet.” Rating: 94 points James Halliday – The Australian Wine Companion - 2012 2009 – Trophy best Pinot Noir – 2010 Adelaide Hills Wine Show 2009 – Silver Medal – 2010 Royal Perth Show
