Fully destemmed and matured in 500L French puncheons (15% new) for 9 months. A bright crimson ruby. Opens well with a tight core of strawberry and cranberry fruit. There's a little spice, with the oak sitting discreetly in the background. Equally bright on the very even and persistent palate, this should provide plenty of enjoyment now and over the next 5 or so years.

A light to medium bodied pinot noir delivering a bright and vibrant palate. Red berry truffle oil characters on the nose with a slightly ferruginous character. A silky bright palate with a balance between the oak and the fine chalky thread of tannins. Very long finish. This makes a statement about pinot. 93/100

Plenty of bass notes to this earthen, macerated, spice-riddled Pinot Noir. It’s perfectly well balanced and satisfying through the finish, and drinks well accordingly, now, but you get the feeling that this wine will be better again given a couple of extra years in the bottle. It’s not backward but it’s not so much about upfront fruit; it rumbles through the palate and then on. “Valley floor” style pinot noir, done well.

Bright ruby, shiny and appealing to look at, this has inviting aromas of crushed raspberries, forest air and earth. Its varietal purity continues through a palate that's light mid-weight, quenching, fine in texture and balanced in tannin structure. Harmony is the thing with this pinot, making it a deliciously satisfying drop.

Brilliant bright color bursts from the glass. The nose of raspberry and brambly cherry captures the essence of Pinot Noir. It’s vibrant and lively with dominant red fruit flavours merging with a little mushroom forest floor. The fine chalky acid holds it tightly, but the flesh emerges as it opens up. Very long and precise with a defining fine acidity.
