The Byrne Coghills Creek Ballarat Pinot Noir 2018 is a beautifully matured cool-climate release from the acclaimed Myola Vineyard, offering exceptional complexity, finesse and value as a limited cellar release now available at a remarkable 65% saving. In the glass, it presents with a deep ruby core and subtle garnet edge, reflecting its graceful evolution in bottle, while the nose opens with lifted aromas of dark cherry, sour cherry, forest floor, gentle spice and faint bramble notes that immediately signal its regional pedigree. The palate is refined and layered, delivering vibrant red and dark cherry fruit supported by savoury earth, subtle oak and finely detailed tannins that provide structure without sacrificing elegance. 

As the wine unfolds, its silky texture and balanced acidity carry flavours seamlessly through a long, composed finish, showcasing why it earned outstanding critical recognition with 95 Points from Sam Kim Wine Orbit and 93 Points from Ray Jordan WinePilot. 

This small-batch Ballarat Pinot Noir offers both immediate drinking pleasure and further short-term cellaring potential, making it equally suited to refined dinners and relaxed evenings. It pairs effortlessly with duck confit, herb-roasted chicken, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon or soft washed-rind cheeses, where its bright fruit and savoury complexity shine. With limited remaining stock and its status as a rare mature cool-climate Pinot at outstanding value, this 2018 release represents a compelling opportunity for Pinot lovers seeking depth, elegance and provenance.
