Helen & Joey Layla Pinot Noir 2024, Yarra Valley
Bright ruby with vibrant crimson hues. Fresh strawberry, raspberry and red cherry lift from the glass, with rhubarb, sweet spice and delicate vanilla. As it opens, earthy mushroom notes and subtle savoury complexity.
Medium-bodied and lively. Juicy red berries and spiced cherry are supported by silky tannins and bright acidity. Gentle earthiness builds through the mid-palate, bringing savoury depth, while restrained oak adds texture. The structure stays elegant, so the red fruit remains front and centre. The finish is fresh and persistent, with raspberry, cherry and delicate spice lingering.
Vino Masters Score: 95/100 ★★★★★ A fragrant and energetic Yarra Valley Pinot Noir with juicy red berries, silky tannins and a lovely balance of fruit and complexity.
