Reviews

“Coming off a Central Otago Pinot, and into Geelong, it strikes me that the regions have some similarities in style. Both more to earthy/dried herb, darker fruit profile. Or maybe Im just drawing another long bow.Spicy, cherry and chocolate, dried herb and liquorice. Its medium-bodied, combines all the sappy/spicy/savoury/fruity things, with a sort of honey nut richness, firm shapely coal dust tannin, meaty and slightly sour-edged to close, with excellent length and no shortage of character. Its not a pretty Pinot, more guttural and earthy, but a very good one nonetheless.”94 Points – Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, December 2021, Drink: 2022 – 2029
