June 13, 2020 - Unscrewed and poured. Bright herbal lemon aroma. Delicate berry and citrus flavors over a rock solid foundation. Tart lingonberry and mineral finish.
Lively, vibrant, attractive flavors, firm backbone, great staying power. Still going strong, no sign of decline. Great stuff. -

September 15, 2018 - Probably being tasted against two good Burgundies and a good Marlborough Pinot didn't do it any favours. Light in colour, light in body. Nose is weak violet, overall nothing special. *

October 24, 2014 - Ben's duck supper (Ben and Estella's place, Parramatta): Medium minus intensity aromas of red cherry and berries, biscuit, with slight sweet spice. In the mouth the wine has juicy tending to searing acidity and flavours of red currant. Tannin is quite furry on the mid palate and a slight spice note carries on the medium plus length finish. Hmm.

March 23, 2014 - From memory: Slightly misty pale ruby colour. Crisp Pinot fruit backed up by hints of gravelly soil and spicy oak. Strangely enough there are also some medicinal and herbal notes detectable that normally point towards northern Rhone. Medium to light bodied, well balanced and decently concentrated. By no means life altering, but a well made, value driven New World Pinot with a touch more complexity than one might expect at this price point.
