  February 11, 2024 - Tasted after a half hour decant. Pale ruby in colour with a garnet hue & lovely aromas of initially earthy forest floor transitioning to strawberry & blossoms. On the palate, medium bodied tart & very juicy red fruit, strawberry, sour cherry, both earthy & floral, potpourri, clove/spice, cotton candy, high acidity, low soft tannins with a long finish to sour cherry, pepper & a hint of milk chocolate. This is balanced, complex, elegant wine, & tastes exactly as Pinot Noir should! Very well done!

  Pale ruby in colour with a hint of garnet. Lovely aromas of red fruit, strawberry/cherry, dusty earth & forest floor. On the palate, medium bodied tart red fruit, strawberries/cherries, floral, dusty earth, hint clove, high acidity, low soft tannins with a long finish to savoury black pepper & sour cherry. Lovely, subtle, elegant, balanced, exactly as a Pinot Noir should be!

  December 23, 2020 - Medium orangey red, looks very much like a 10 yr old tawny - the palate is really nice, a wash of lovely red-berried, winey deliciousness. Nose points that direction, pert, slightly spicy, orange/berry fruit with a whiff of funk. Palate has something a bit deeper too, a minor earthy streak. Loads of bright red fruit on the long finish, this is really tasty.

  September 23, 2018 - Really love this wine as an everyday, drink with pretty much anything kind of Pinot.
  Lush cherries and plum, with just the right level of grungy earth (and I mean that in the best way possible), spice undertones. Honestly, my favorite Aussie Pinot right now. It's almost impossible for me to keep these in the cellar, it's just that easy to drink.
