Using the finest fruit from the select blocks at our vineyard in Yarra Glen, this wine has deep fruit flavours, fine tannin and the silky smooth palate we expect of Yarra Valley Pinot Noir.
95 POINTS - HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION
'The colour is so-so, but not so the wine. It's energising, buoyed by refreshing acidity as much as juicy, tangy fruit. Neatly set into a medium-bodied palate with an array of cherries, raspberries and woodsy spices, with some savoury touches, it's neatly composed and satisfying. Best in youth, but it will hang around for a few years yet.' - Jane Faulkner
94 POINTS - THE WINE FRONT
'Selected blocks of fruit from a vineyard in Yarra Glen. Cherry and strawberry compote. The aromas remind me of a dried, smoked fruit concoction made for Christmas in Poland, a compote. If I may add a personal touch here. It’s a seductive combination of sweet, salty and umami. Dried mushrooms, game meat, a bouquet of stewed spices and herbs. Touch of dusty potpourri represents the tannin feel and the prevailing umami flavour follows the acidity line. It’s light but with a pleasant spicy pinch. Bright red fruits shape this wine, which is otherwise very savoury. Mouthwatering and makes me think of food.'
