Drinking this one just three years after the vintage, this is all fresh and crispy. The nose is Honeycrisp apple... On the palate, that apple gets really dry and crisp... Dried sage here too... Quite acidic which will be great for food pairings. — 2 years ago
Even better than I remembered. Maybe bc it’s on draft from the motherland — 3 years ago
Crisp yet smooth. Light citrus notes. Great option for a wine drinker looking for flavor but maybe not as sharp of a citrus bite as New Zealand SB. — 4 years ago
Dark, red purple with opaque, near black core. Blackberry and baked plum in the nose. Medium full palate echoes the nose adding black apple, juicy acidity, and woody, medium plus tannins. Finish is moderate in length and continues the palate. Excellent Washington red occupying that classic sweet spot between California fruit and Bordeaux structure. Classic Cab/Merlot pairings are an obvious match. Drink now through 2028. — 9 months ago
Pale to mid Ruby in colour with great clarity. Aromatic red and black Cherry notes with rose petals. A stalky whole bunch note with a little spice. Those fresh cherry notes of medium weight but medium plus intensity transfer through to the palate. Very fresh, young with great potential for future complexity. I can see why it won the Trophy for Best Pinot Noir at both Royal Adelaide and Royal Hobart - both shows with extensive and high quality Pinot entries. Too young but I had to try the first of 6. Next in a year plus. Technical background: (whole berry ferments with 20% whole bunches. Aged in 25% new puncheons and Barriques). — 3 years ago
Tim would kill us for drinking this so late, but it's delicious! Fruity, malic, bright... with vanilla and nutmeg notes to mellow it out — 2 years ago

Light mouth feel, slightly bitter, peachy, smells slightly like almonds and blackberry — 2 months ago
