97pts Decanter & Platinum Medal Winner

Lovely nose showing beautiful aromas of violets, liquorice, sweet dark cherries, elegant spices and nuances of earthy undertones. Lovely flow on the palate, with slightly chalky tannins, very sapid and well structured. Harmonious finish.

93pts James Suckling

Bright cherry and strawberry fruit here, together with rose petals and sweet spices. Medium-bodied, bright and fruity with creamy tannins. Delicious ripe-strawberry character throughout, with a long, flavorful finish. Drink now or hold. Screw cap.

92pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2021 Pinot Noir leads with a gently reductive nose, black cherries, caper brine, mulberry and cigar box. In the mouth, the fruit floods the palate and shows a ready succulence of pink and red berries. It is cushioned, plump and juicy, with enough savory tannin to both shape and balance the fruit. Lovely. Very good. Rating: 92+.

Winemaker Notes

Aromas of spiced rhubarb, sweet red cherries, Asian five spice and vanilla mingle with earthy notes and the distinct fruity spice notes of sassafras forest. The palate is seductive with fleshy red and black cherries. It develops with spices from the whole bunch inclusion and French oak barrels.

Best enjoyed with smoked roast beetroot with silky skordalia or roasted duck with a black cherry and Madeira sauce, served with creamy mashed potato.
