Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Dark fruits pair with rose petal, damsel plum and sweet red aromatics on the nose. The palate is packed with dark fruit that is punctuated by a twist of densely confined, graphite-like tannins. Engaging to the end, the wine amalgamates Bendigo’s richness with high-altitude energy."

5 Stars & 97/100 Bob Campbell MW, November 2020 (2019 Vintage)
"Delicious pinot noir, with a haunting perfume that suggests ripe, dark-fleshed plum, dark cherry, wood smoke, charcuterie and cigar box. A wonderfully complex wine with an absolutely seductive, silken texture."
Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2020 (2019 Vintage)
"Immediately desirable bouquet with a core of ripe dark cherries, plum and dark roses; there’s a distinctive layer of minerality with stone and spice then a wild dried herb layer. Aromas of toasty barrel and wood smoke add in layers of complexity and depth. On the palate – firm textures from tannins and acidity are easily contrasted by the core of berry fruit flavours that reflect the nose. Harmonious, well made and length. A really lovely wine with concentration and pinosity. Best drinking from 2022 through 2030+."
5 Stars Michael Cooper (2019 Vintage)
"This consistently classy red is estate-grown in the late-ripening School House Vineyard, at Bendigo, an extremely elevated site (up to 420 metres above sea level). The 2019 vintage was hand-picked and matured for 10 months in French oak casks (25 per cent new). Deep ruby, it is a powerful yet elegant red, with dense cherry, plum and spice flavours, and ripe, supple tannins. Still very youthful, it's well worth cellaring to 2023+. Certified organic."
