Vintage 2019 

“..Complex aromas of red currants, cherries and plums and subtle oak.. complex balanced mix of intense red fruits, spice, soft tannins.. all in harmony. Elegant and complex..” Stephen Read, Wine Matrix

“..charming and sweetly fragrant.. juicy, bright and supple on the palate with elegant weight and attractive fruit intensity, finishing long and silky. At its best: now to 2023” Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Vintage 2018 

“Complex aromas of black cherries, strawberries, along with smoky earthy tones with hints of mushrooms and game. These aromas along with the pale ruby colour lead to the complex palate. Red fruits feature with gamey, earthy tones which are balanced by dry tannins and tight acid. A hint of spice adds to the complex mouthfeel and balance, there is good length to the finish.” Stephen Read, Wine Matrix

Vintage 2017

“Enticing pale ruby in colour with aromas of cherries, strawberries, vanilla along with smoky earthy notes. The palate is luscious and multilayered with nice soft tannins along with cherries, red fruits, earthy and game notes, all balanced by a long clean finish. A good example of cool climate Pinot Noir. ” Stephen Read, Wine Matrix

“Made from grapes grown in Tumbarumba and Adelaide Hills, this delightful cool-climate pinot shows sweet red/black cherry, game, dark mushroom, olive and toasted almond characters on the nose. The palate is elegantly weighted and finely textured, delivering smooth mouthfeel and polished tannins, backed by subtle spicy nuances.” Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

“.. a light to medium coloured pinot with strawberry-like varietal aroma, a palate combining fruit with more savoury characters and finely textured tannins.” Chris Shanahan

“…the red cherry and pomegranate flavours are in the epicentre of super-cool pinot characters.” James Halliday

Vintage 2015

“An elegantly expressed pinot, the bouquet shows red cherry, plum, game and clove characters with a touch of nutmeg. The palate is juicy and brightly flavoured, delivering delicate fruit intensity and fine texture, finishing long and slightly savoury.” Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Vintage 2014

“A complex wine, suggesting some use of whole bunches. Plum is the dominant fruit, studded with multi spices…” James Halliday, Wine Companion
