This wine is defined by the quality and purity of the fruit. Haunting black and blue fruit aromas. Medium bodied, oak spice. Soy, and plum. Super fine and integrated tannins. Quiet quality. — 2 days ago

Another great pinot. The strawberry and dark cherry flavours are meshed seamlessly with the acid and fine tannins, giving super grip and length. Elegant but also concentrated. — a month ago

Very dark, almost inky black. The nose is relatively shy. Dark plum, cedar, tar, and some savoury meat notes. Palate is rich and full bodied and still primal given only 3 yrs of age. Needs to unfurl. — 2 months ago

Sweet but quite simple. Lovely pure strawberry character, with typical mornington mushroom funk. The peninsula base morel is almost as good. This needs more structure and more complexity. Honest but rather simple. — 9 days ago

Complex nose. Bread, nuts, lemon merengue, slate, and a reductive smokey note. On the palate, the wine is stuffed with substance but is yet to unfurl and bubbles are quite pronounced which distracts from the flavour profile. Slightly disappointing but full if potential. — a month ago

Fabulous for the price. For $30 you get spicy red fruit, some mornington funk/umami, and vg balance. Not long, or complex, but the basic flavour profile is punching massively above its weight. I’ve found my everyday pinot! — 2 months ago

Maybe it suffered after Dom ‘08, but this wasn’t doing it for me. All the standard flint, citrus notes were there but didnt like the manufactured feel to the palate. — a month ago

Unmistakeable old world nose. Red fruit and wood spice, but mixed with the unmistakeable umami, old library notes that say Burgundy. No more than medium bodied and a bit thin on mid palate but for the px this was quite serious. Drinking perfectly for R’s 45th at The Friends — a month ago

Best pinot I have had for some time. So much energy and grip. Lacy but also concentrated. Sweet red cherry, then darker fruit and wood spice in the mid palate. Shroud of acid and super fine tannin bringing everything together. As though the pure pinot flavours are being sucked into every tastebud. Combination of acid and tannin deliver the ultimate platform for the pure fruit flavour to zing.. 5-10 years? This will be killer. — a month ago
