"This Australian Pinot Noir is praised by critics: superb, excellent, and delicious!"
"Cherry and strawberry are bright, accompanied by rose petals and sweet spices. Medium-bodied, bright and fruity, with creamy tannins. Delicious ripe strawberry aroma throughout the mouth, with a long and flavorful finish. Drink now or keep. Screw cap." (James Suckling 2022)

About wine:
Seductive and lush, with aromas of juicy blackberries and notes of earth and smoke. The fruit is ripe but not overly so, and the texture is dense but not heavy thanks to the fresh acidity and mid-palate density. The grapes are blended from three sites and fermented with 25% whole clusters, punched down three times a day before being pressed and racked into barrels (21% new) for aging. A Pinot Noir that appeals to the public and balances richness with structure and freshness.

About wine:
The 2021 Pinot Noir has a slightly reductive nose of black cherries, capers, blackberries, and cigar box. On the palate, fruit floods the mouth, revealing an abundance of pink and red berries. It is supple, pulpy, and juicy, with enough savory tannins to shape and balance the fruit. Superb. Excellent.
