Rating: 90 Points - Vinous - Rebecca Gibb MW

A savory and elegant Pinot Noir that fills the mouth with cool, elegant fruit. Hailing predominantly from the richer soils of the region's Southern Valleys, this midweight example has some additional substance, and the tannins envelop the mouth with a fine-grained texture. The finish bursts with freshness and is redolent of damson, raspberries, woodsmoke and spice. Drinking well now; this is a short- to medium-term drinker that will evolve but not necessarily improve further.

Aromas of ripe dark and red cherry, brambly fruits, spice and leather, with a hint of smoky oak. A full-bodied wine with round, mouth-filling flavours of plum, brambly fruit, dark cherry and a hint of savoury herbs. The oak integrates nicely with the fruit and the silky and linear tannin structure.
