TASTING NOTES

PALATE

With the majority whole bunch fermented with stalks one might expect a firmer, more savoury palate. Instead, it has a lightness of touch yet with depth and length of flavour. Tight and fine, intense in the mid-palate (think boysenberry, blackberry, raspberry) it has a freshness and elegance to satisfy with subtle tannins to finish. Fresh, vibrant, persistent.

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com - 93 Pts

Bright aromas of wild raspberries, fresh cherries, candied strawberries, Sichuan spices, rose petals and autumn leaves. The palate is medium-bodied with a crunchy tannin profile and bright acidity. There is lovely vibrancy and high-toned red fruit that lead into a spicy and floral finish. Drink now. Screw cap.

Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion - 91 Pts

A very curious release. Very loose-knit, sour-fruit leaning, doused with strong red capsicum and mezcal elements with a large dusting of white pepper. It feels sloshy and watery with a kind of confected edge to red berry fruits despite some of those more sour cherry notes and shows a smidge of white balsamic lift. As a fresh, frisky, youthful red destined for a fridge or ice bucket, there's pleasing drinkability and vitality here. A nouveau or joven style emerges, but as a stalwart pinot noir of stately origin, this release feels a little outside the box.
