Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"We think this might be the best Pinot Noir we've made! A warm summer produced a wine with excellent dark fruit concentration. Aromatics of dark cherry, rich forest fruits and spicy undertones. The palate shows good weight and texture with fine acidity giving balance and poise. Ageing in French oak (25% new) and malolactic fermentation have resulted in a complex, well-balanced wine with a generous palate and long finish."
Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, August 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"Very attractive bouquet of dark cherry and toasty baking spices, the mineral chalk and clay quality adds depth and complexity. There’s also a broody quality with some dried herb and wood smoke. Delicious on the palate with flavours of wild red berries, dark strawberry, dried herb, dark cherry and vanilla laced wood flavours. Tannins add texture with a chalky quality while acidity and minerality add freshness and intrigue. Lengthy even finish, youthful still so cellar time available with best drinking from late 2023 through 2030."
5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Richly fruited and impressively complex, the wine shows dark plum, smoked game, earthy mushroom and cedar notes on the nose, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate delivering plush texture backed by beautifully melded tannins, finishing persistent and velvety. At its best: now to 2028."
