Dr. Mayer Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2023

Shay A
9.4

I’ve been on the lookout for Mayer wines here in the US and happened to find a bottle in a retail shop while out of state visiting some family. I’m shocked much makes it to the states with roughly 160 cases of this wine produced.

100% whole cluster; 13.5%ABV

My immediate thought after popping and pouring was that if Cayuse made a Pinot, it would smell like this. So much stemmy/herbal/savory aromatics with peppered rhubarb and red berries. Translucent ruby in the glass (closer to darker-style rosé’s in color). The funk continues on the palate (in a delicious way) with more stemmy and savory spice, cranberries, and black tea. The stems give this nice tannin structure while the acidity here is vibrant…keeps you going back for another sip. I followed over two days and it stayed pretty consistent.

This is 100% up my alley and a wine I’d love to acquire more of. Very curious how these age (because it seems like they would hold wonderfully).

Acidity high enough to strip the enamel off your teeth. This Mayer lemon tasting Soave Garganega is sure to turn some acid-heads. Cheers. — 3 years ago

Indeed my friend, this has been a great surprise for me.

Feudo Montoni

Masso Catarratto

Subtle white and yellow bouquet, touch of mint and bay leaf, Mayer lemon and tangerine peel and apricot. Mineral with round mouthfeel. Med plus acidity. What a lovely white. Rocky, sandy soil, iron rich. 55 yr old vine. Sur lies with botonnage in cement containers for 6 month.

Had porcini and truffle risotto with the wine. Heaven!

Martinborough Pinot Noir 2013

A serious Pinot after the frivolous fresh young uncomplicated Pinot from Bloody Hill (Mayer) in the Yarra Valley. Quite bold with strong red and black fruits of cherry strawberry and raspberry together with earthy mushroom like notes. Finishes with fine powdery tannins. An interesting back story to the origins of the Malcolm vineyard where cuttings from one of “Burgundy’s finest estates “ believed to be in Vosne Romanee were illegally brought from France. Now known as the Abel clone. See full story on the Ata Rangi website. Had my last bottle 111 weeks later on 30 August 2025. Full bodied, textural, dark fruited and certainly delicious. — 3 years ago

Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay 2015

Great single vineyard Carneros Chard. The juxtaposition of fresh and nutty flavor is just ingenious; raging from Mayer lemon to macadamia nuts and everything in between. The oak is well disguised. Lengthy finish. Visited and tasted several chards from The Hyde Vineyard and this definitely stars/stands out. Cheers. — 4 years ago

This is really nice. Shy nose of citrus fruits. Palate is pure zest, no oak and loads of tension. Great acidity, which finished with bright acidity and sweet grapefruit. I think this may be my first Austrian wine, which was impressive. — 8 years ago

Gemischter Satz is a cool wine, traditionally a field blend, which I believe can contain up to 15 different varietals. I've had a couple, they really open with air.

That’s why I found it tough to be precise with notes! I really liked this example, tho. Thanks for sharing @Severn Goodwin.
