  May 30, 2011 - Stalky. And some stone/chalk flavours as well. Bright red fruits. But a little 1 dimensional. Light/medium bodied. Drink now.

  May 4, 2011 - Second (of 3) place. Ripe fruit. A little anise cola. Some pepper spice. Hollow mid palate. Shorter on the finish and high in acidity.
  Leather and some autumn leaves. Not bad, but I'd probably go for a different Aussie PN.

  October 11, 2010 - Bright burgundy color with very little opacity. Violets, cranberries and lingonberries on the nose, complemented with a hint of green herbs. On the mouth tight-knit texture with sharp acidity and tart, bitter herbal notes. With some aeration the notes of juicy red berries emerge from the picture, bringing in more round and supple character. There is also some tannin action, surprisingly much for a Pinot. In a nutshell, this wine is a very cool climate Pinot with lively flavors of fresh red berries, good acidic zing and surprisingly intensive expression of fruit. Requires some aeration to soften up and bring in the berry flavors from the background and some food to counter the acidity and punchy herbaceous notes. A good, unoaked alternative to French Pinots Noirs.
