90 Points – Huon Hooke "Medium to light red/purple colour. Restrained aromas of red cherry and fresh leather, raspberry and fragrant bitter-herbs, a hint of angelica. The wine is light to medium in weight and the tannins are sappy and sappy and just a fraction firm. Better with food."

For a very warm year, 2018 delivered a delicate and elegant Pinot Noir. On the nose there are lovely herbal notes from the inclusion of some whole bunches; raspberry, red cherry, carnations and vanilla also leap from the glass.

The palate delivers flavours of sour cherry and cranberry, with firm, fine-grained tannins adding structure and focus.

96 Points – Jeremy Oliver Wine Awards "Wild and perfumed. Deeply floral and elegant, with seamless dark fruits and fine tannins."

95 Points – Huon Hooke "The bouquet is mellow and shows development with oak aged cedar and subtle leafy nuances. The palate is medium-weight, elegantly structured and refined, the depth of flavour excellent in a lighter-bodied but typical Yarra Valley style. It’s a beautiful wine… a superb drink."
