Critic awards

Bright, fresh and fruity bouquet with a core of varietal scents from fresh red cherry to cranberry, then abstract scents of clay and fruit spice, some stone and pressed rose. A lighter weight expression with high impact from fruit and acidity, low impacts from new and seasoned wood . A crunchy texture driven by acidity and new fruit flavours, a fine to moderate frame from tannins and overall and new yet early drinking expression.

— 92 points, Cam Douglas MW

Moderately deep ruby-red with a purple rim. The nose is fruity and attractive with lush aromas of blackberry, plum and cherry melded with spice, cola nut and a hint of floral. Medium-bodied, aromas of red berry, strawberry and cherry on the palate, alongside spice and cola nut. Vibrant acidity carries dusty tannin extraction to a fresh, juicy finish. This juicy Pinot Noir possesses a red fruit core, a fresh acid line and a dusty tannin framework. Match with pulled pork and lamb sausages over the next 2 years.
