DESCRIPTION
BLUE-GOLD Award Winner and one of the TOP 1OO Wines of the Sydney Int Wine Comp.
"Flavorsome Pinot Noir with succulent cherry, berry flavors that are nicely underpinned by toasty oak. Good weight and length, this wine earns a tick in every box". 4 Stars - Bob Campbell - July 2011
"This is a pretty smart Pinot, albeit in a fairly straightforward style, and excellent value. Dark cherries, good intensity; finishes with tight, firm tannins. It should hold for a few years, too. Now to five years." Huon Hooke SMH
Judges' Comments Sydney Int Wine Comp.
Brent Marris
A lovely perfumed nose and fruit driven palate. Great length. A round balanced mid palate. Good oak and tannin. Excellent match for the dish. The wine becomes more spicy and fruit driven with the velvety tannins.
Megan Brodtmann
Medium plum in colour. Oak chocolate and berry fruit. On the palate berry, violets and chocolate. Velvety tannins. A lovely grainy structure and a lovely match with the food.
Xenia Irwin
Light red berry fruit and slightly green nose. Ripe on the palate with sweetness. Clean fresh acids lift the long finish. The food brings out the sweet oak influence to benefit the pairing.
Navneet Singh
Red cherry blossoms and violets with spice of red peppercorns and cinnamon. Good structure
Deep-red with a garnet hue. Ripe cherry and spiced plum fruit flavours with toast and savoury notes from the French oak barrels. A rich and weighty full-bodied wine with a wonderful velvet texture. The fruit and carefully integrated oak result in a complex and intriguing wine with a great length.
The wine is ready to drink now or can be carefully cellared for 2-6 years.
